converting IDL to .net Interfaces

[Dan Holmes]

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?
