Hi!

If you're writing web-applications you should use the ActiveX-version.
You can use normal dlls in C#, too... but it's not the best 'cause it's unmanaged code and with C# you can produce managed code ;-)
Here you'll find an article about how to use ActiveX/Com with Visual C#:

There is realy no difference, the dll is just a wrapper..

Wait for a managed assembly, otherwise you need to go though the com registration issues a real pain for dot net..
