Cannot instantiate Object for ActiveX control in JavaScript: get 429 error

I created an ActiveX control (code only e.g. ZPLPrint.cs) that I compiled as a library into a dll using the csc command in the .Net 4.xxx directory. Then I registered the dll using regasm ZPLPrint.dll /tlb /codebase . I'm using WebMatrix to build the control and also using it to run IE10. My OS is Windows 8. In my sitelayout.cshtml (in WebMatrix) I have the following JavaScript embedded in the head section: script type="text/javascript" var x = new ActiveXObject("ABCActiveXPrint.ZPLPrint");

There is more to the script but I can't get past creating the object above. I get the following error message: “SCRIPT429: Automation server can't create object”. This will ultimately be run on Windows Mobile 6.5 CE. Am I on the right track here or should I be considering another approach? Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently the browser was preventing the control from executing due to its security settings. Since I was developing locally, I simply added localhost to the list of trusted sites and was able to get past the error.
