C# Web Game

Is there a way using .NET to make a web game ASPX that has scrolling game screen or is ActiveX the only way in Visual Studio?

In the .NET world ActiveX is for the most part dead (even though we can talk to it, we try not to).

Instead one possible option (that only works in IE) is to host a .NET user control on a web page and use it through IE.

Is there a option that would do something similiar to games made in flash or java using C# .NET?

Not today however using some of the WPF methods from the 3.0 .NET Framework or even the WPF/E push it will be possible... sadly those technologies are not quite done and released yet.

By "Scrolling game screen", I assume you mean something like http://maps.google.com/ where you can just slide the maps left-or-right, up-or-down.

Google accomplishes this without ActiveX, Flash, or Java.

It done by setting up a converstaion via XML between a Javascript routine on the browser, and the webserver. The technique is known as "AJAX" (Asyncronous Javascript And Xml).

Many open-source .Net libraries to handle Ajax are becoming available now. Microsoft's own is called "Atlas" (http://atlas.asp.net)
