:hammer: Type Library Importer in Managed Code

Type Library Importer

Tlbimp is a command line tool which creates a managed, interop assembly from a COM type library.

TLBIMP is a .NET SDK tool that creates an Interop assembly from a COM type library. This project is a managed code implementation of TLBIMP. We have released this tool so developers can see what TLBIMP does and if necessary extend the tool for their specific requirements.

A UI tool, TlbimpRuleFileEditor, can be found in the package for customization purpose, which help to create a configuration file without requiring knowledge of xml configuration file syntax.

The package also includes some tests, which can be used with Tlbimp Regression Test Tool (attached in the package as well) to validate any updates made against the original source code. More information about this tool can be found in the document in the package.
