does anyone know of any tools that will convert IDL/tlbs to 100% VB.NET
or C# source? All the IDL was written for compatibility with VB6. It
is not complex but i have so much of it it would take a long time to do
by hand.

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't IDLs just interface definitions. They
contain no implementation. What is your goal for converting the
definitions?

Not having to port the interfaces by by hand.

I guess my question is, do you intend to simply all the COM component from
your .NET application, or are you going to port the COM code to .NET?
 
Hello Dan,

See TypeLibConverter Class and TLBIMP.EXE descriptions and samples in MSDN
