How to register a winforms control as ActiveX control?

I strictly followed this guide (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/exposingdotnetcontrols.aspx) to build a custom winform control, but I failed with "regsvr32 my.dll".

I googled for a while, however, ended up with nothing.

Could someone help me on this task?

thanks.

btw, the above sample code didn't work for me, too.

ComVisible .NET assemblies are not registered with Regsvr32.exe, they require Regasm.exe.

Sorry for late reply.
It works fine.

But I got bunch of warnings like below,

Warning: Non COM visible value type 'System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles' is being referenced either from the type currently being exported or from one of its base types.
Warning: Non COM visible value type 'System.Windows.Forms.AutoValidate' is being referenced either from the type currently being exported or from one of its base types.
...

How to get rid of these warnings?

Thanks.

Another question,

I usually use ActiveX Control Pad to create a simple web page to test my control, but this time, for winform control, when I inserted it, I got error messge "Failed to create object. Make sure the object is entered in the system registry."

I didn't understand what situation I was in, if it's not in registry, how could I find it in control list? What shoud I do towrite a web page including this .NET ActiveX control?

thanks.
