Placing a UserControl on a local html page

Question

I found the following article on this site:"Writing an ActiveX Control in .NET" http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/March/ActiveXInNet.asp It describes how to create an assembly (class library project) that contains an item of type User Control and embed it into a web page. However, it only works if the page is in the IIS root directory and IIS is running. My question is: Would it be possible to create an assembly (class library project) that contains an item of type User Control and embed it into a local HTML page on a machine that does not have IIS? Thanks
