Quick replacement for the VB6 OLE Container Control in .NET

I have developed a very quick replacement for the OLE Container Control that you had in VB6.
I just did it in rush so it just supports basic properties as DisplayType Icon or Content
The content functionality is performed using the Vista feature for content preview. I would have tried using a 
WebBrowser control but in new versions of Office, the default is not showing the document on the Browser and
it might be difficult to change the registry in some vista or Win7 environments.

 The following picture show the OLEContainer inside a Windows Form.

This is the container with the Display set to content:

 

And the container with display set to icon:

 

You can call the CreateLink and you can also use the DoVerb Open.

I have attached the example source code in this post.
