Hi, I programmed a game in C#, with visual studios. My friend programmed a website in HTML/CSS using dreamweaver. Now i am wondering if it is possible to upload my game onto his website, without having to do much changing to my code, due to the fact that i am a beginner programmer. If anyone has any suggestions or advice, please let me know! Thanks!

If your application is an executable (.exe) you can only upload it to his server and link to it for download, there is no way to embed a C# application other than with ASP.NET, and even then it must be basic. Embeddable containers include ActiveX, Flash, Java and a few others.

I was told by someone that it is possible to put my game into an active X control.... not sure what that is or how to do it though, or even if it will work. Does anyone know about that?

It should not be all too difficult, here is an example of getting an ActiveX control running: Writing an ActiveX control in C#

Note the downfalls:

• It is not an application, only a single form, so you will need to modify the code a bit
  
• ActiveX is not supported natively on Firefox, Opera or other operating systems than Windows. IE may ignore the control depending on security settings.

so according to that website, i have to make a new class in my c# game. and then add the code written for me into that class.
I also need to add the javascript to the website?
but i dont understand what to do with the 3 lines of code that are separated by comments in the middle of the page? (sorry im new to programming, and know little to nothing about websites/servers.)
thank you!

I know much about it as you do, it may be wise to look up some documentation on creating ActiveX controls in C#, there should be a few tutorials on the web.
