mircrosoft word integration with dot net

[insureallrisk]

If we want to integrate word in dot net, we need to add
the com library reference in the project. Do you know how
I copy the dll onto my dot net framework without using the
add reference because I am not using the visual studio.

Is there any link that you know where I can get some hints?

Thanks.

Ray,

when you compile from the command line, if you are using VB.NET, you will
use a command like:
vbc.exe /target:library /out:MyLib.dll SourceModule1.vb SourceModule2.vb

what you need to do is to add a reference to the line. eg
vbc.exe /target:library /out:MyLib.dll /r:Interop.Office.Word.dll
SourceModule1.vb SourceModule2.vb

remember to substitute the actual name of the interop dll in your actual
command.

Now, you may ask, "When we are talking about COM, where does this interop
dll come from?" It comes from the tlbimp.exe utility, of course.
