Server-side C# produces HTML that can be requested and displayed by virtualy every browser on every OS.

ActiveX controls are proprietary client-side applications that run only in a very specific client configuration, i.e. Internet Explorer on a limited set of OS.

A website written in C# - This will be hosted on IIS, and generate a HTML response to be send to the client browser. This runs at the server end.

ActiveX control - ActiveX controls, mini program building blocks, can serve to create distributed applications working over the Internet through web browsers, something similar to Java Applets. This executes at the client end
