I'm going to be giving a presentation at DISD 2016 on .Net & DataFlex integration. One of the things I'll be doing is going through a simple demo of a project. If you'd like to be able to follow along, I'll be using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. You can download VS2015 here:

(Note: Check the usage restrictions at the bottom of that page before using VS2015 Community commercially...)

I will be demonstrating using COM Automation objects. ActiveX controls are a whole 'nother ballgame, and what I used in Visual Studio 2005, the Forms Interop Toolkit, does not natively support VS2015, though you might be able to get it to work following instructions here:

For more info on the topic, I posted some instructions in a previous thread:
