Given an assembly, is there a way we could generate some sort of a type
library file w/c contains the public types defined in the assembly but w/o
the implementation? W/ this "type library" file, developers can reference,
use and compile their applications w/o needing the actual implementations.
It's basically the same concept as type libraries (.tlb) in the COM world.
Thanks in advance =)
 
The .net version of this is to actually create a library that contains only
abstract classes and interfaces. You use the library with your app, and you
send the library to the developers who need to reference your app. They
will get the interface without the implementation.

As an alternative, if developers are calling a web service that you write,
you would send the WSDL file. Same concept.

Hope this helps,

Yeah, I was hoping something like wsdl.exe but for non-web services as well.
Thanks anyway, Nick =)
