Importing COM Objects into Designer
The Microsoft Type Library Importer (TLBIMP) generates a Primary Interop Assembly, which is a .NET assembly, from a COM object. Once an assembly is generated using TLBIMP, you can import the methods from that assembly into Designer as you would any .NET assembly.
In broad overview, these are the steps to import COM objects into Designer as services:
1. If you have not already done so, use the regsvr32 command to register the COM object on the computer where you will make the conversion.
2. Use TLBIMP to generate the assembly, as in this simple example:
3. Use the output file as though it were a .NET assembly and import it into Designer, as described in Importing .NET Methods into Designer .
