Registering COM with .NET

[Nadav]

Hi,

I Wonder... How can I manually generate the wrapper DLL generated when
importing a .COM Object at a C# project? doing so will enable me to sign the
wrapper DLL and to put it in the Gac.

Use TLBIMP. details in "Generating Primary Interop Assemblies" in the
MSDN.

tlbimp tlbfile /primary /keyfile:filename /out:assemblyname

In your project properties there's an option specifically for adding a key
file to wrap COM and ActiveX objects. Simply right click on the project and
select properties.

article for MSDN that went up this weekend all on the command line tools
for Interop like TLBIMP at
