The Type Library Importer converts the type definitions found within a COM type library into equivalent definitions in a common language runtime assembly. The output of Tlbimp.exe is a binary file (an assembly) that contains runtime metadata for the types defined within the original type library. You can examine this file with tools such as Ildasm.exe.
Files & Options
Files
Type Library Name
The type library from which to generate a common runtime assembly from.
Assembly Output File
The name of the output file for the generated assembly.
Options
Resource ID
When importing a type library from a module containing multiple libraries specify a resource ID which will be attached to the type library file. The resulting file should be located in the same path as the original type library.
Produce interfaces without runtime security checks
The produced interfaces will not have .NET Framework security checks added.
Produce a primary interop assembly
Specify to signal that a primary interop assembly should be generated. When used publisher information is added to the generated assembly.
Import SAFEARRAY as System.Array
Signals that COM SafeArrays should be imported as the System.Array Class type.
Apply the [out, retval] parameter transformation to methods of disp only interfaces
Specify to transform out return value parameters of methods into return values on the generated assembly. Only occurs on dispatch interfaces.
Namespace
The namespace the generated the assembly will use.
Version Number of Assembly
The version number the generated assembly will use. In the format major.minor.build.revision.
Allows the selection of the .NET version to use for the tool. The minimum is .NET v2.0. This options specifies as whether to force the usage of 64-bit tools on a 64-bit system or not. As FinalBuilder is currently a 32-bit application it will default to running the 32-bit version on a 64-bit system. Check this option if you require the 64-bit version to be run.Framework Version
Use default framework version (vX.X) / Use vX.X
Use 64-bit tools
