The OBJECT tag is used to download an NGWS runtime assembly to the client using Internet Explorer. The location of the "package" containing the assembly manifest, and the name of the class to run are specified using the CLSID attribute of the OBJECT tag:
<object id="myCtl" classid="http://www.contoso.com/foo.dll#fooClass" </object>
The CODEBASE attribute of the OBJECT tag is ignored.
The path to the "package" may be absolute or relative to the "Application Base" (see later section on how the AppBase is established). Both shared assemblies and private assemblies may be downloaded.
