Hi All,

I have to mimic the Type Library importer (TLBIMP.exe) functionality.
Is there no other way than to convert the COM to a Assembly using
InteropServices.TypeLibConverter class.

Is this the only way. ?

What will be the "most correct" way to do this. ?

That, or to implement the entire conversion process yourself (lots of
work). Any reason you don't want to use TypeLibConverter?

Thanks Mattias,

I need to find out the methods and properties of a COM object.
This is what I am doing.
The COM gets converted to an Assembly and I save the converted Assembly.
Then loaded Assembly.
Using Type.GetType and GetMembers I get am able to get all the details of
the COM.

But I haven't figured out exactly how can this be achieved with out saving
the converted assembly.

Is there any other way apart from saving the assembly.?

Thanks,
Kaleem

Unfortunately the TypeLibConverter doesn't have an option to not save
the assmembly, but you should be able to just delete it when you're
done.

The AssemblyBuilder returned by ConvertTypeLibToAssembly can be used
directly for reflection, so you don't have to explicitly load the
assembly that was created.
