Design Time Controls (DTCs):

• Tools, similar in many aspect to ActiveX Controls in many ways:
• Possess a visual interface (drag and drop).
• Possess properties, methods.
• In reality DTCs are really very different from ActiveX Controls
• Each DTC directly represents a block of scripting code (runtime text).
• Change to the DTC changes the code.
• Advantages of DTCs over ActiveX Controls:
• Are platform independent for the client. NO restriction on the type of browser used.
