type libraries

Specifies that this tool will only refer to type libraries that have already been registered.

References to COM type libraries describing COM classes or interfaces used in the project are also needed for the analysis to be complete.

Generating a type library for an assembly that references other assemblies may cause several type libraries to be generated at once.

IDL (. idl) files, which define COM interfaces and type libraries, do not display in diagrams unless they are compiled to native C code.

Objects representing the set of type libraries referenced by the manifest.

If you are accustomed to working with type libraries, you know that they contain only public types.

Interoperation services provide tools that convert type libraries to metadata in assemblies and metadata to type libraries.

Provides methods to resolve references to ActiveX libraries, COM type libraries or assemblies, or managed assemblies.

Displays the interfaces whose definitions are contained in the type library currently selected in the Available type libraries box.

You must manually define type libraries containing variable-length arrays, as shown in the following example.

Returns the set of type libraries referenced by the manifest.

Displays the location of the type library currently selected in the Available type libraries list.

Lists the type libraries currently registered in the system.

Adds all the interfaces in the type library currently selected in the Available type libraries list.

Select the connection point interfaces to implement from the appropriate type libraries and click Finish .

Some type libraries are embedded in the resource section of a DLL or EXE file.

A single assembly might cause several type libraries to be generated.

The type list will include all types that are defined in all explicitly referenced projects and type libraries.

Type libraries can also be embedded inside of executable (. exe, . dll, and . ocx) files.

Select the interfaces to implement from the appropriate type libraries and click Finish .

Lists the interfaces in the type library currently selected in the Available type libraries list.

Some data type libraries became a recommended or an official standard for a particular industry.

NET client assembly, one or more interop assemblies representing distinct COM type libraries, and one or more registered COM components.

Registered type libraries are listed in Available type libraries .

Contains information about a wizard project's type libraries.

Option. COM clients require that type libraries be installed in the Windows registry.

You can register a single primary interop assembly that supports multiple type libraries.

Some COM hosts do not accept type libraries with the version number 0. 0.

Demonstrates use of separate type libraries and resource dynamic-link libraries (DLL) for localization.

Type libraries can contain functions defined on a module.

Some programming model characteristics have associated entities that you can view, such as type libraries and metadata.

You cannot split an assembly into multiple type libraries.

Type libraries can contain arrays of fixed or variable length.

These Microsoft Office 2003 PIAs make interoperability easier between managed code and Office 2003 COM-type libraries.

Takes a list of one or more type library names or . tlb files and resolves those type libraries to locations on disk.

DTLL supports inheritance of type components (supertypes) and other features to support modularization and reuse of data type libraries.

This section is for publishers of COM type libraries.

For instructions, see How to: Generate Interop Assemblies from Type Libraries.

Defines flags that apply to type libraries.

Covers how to add references to COM objects that have type libraries.

Provides methods to map type libraries to their metadata signatures, and to convert from one to the other .

Because type libraries are loaded dynamically using the services API, you don't need to change your Java code at all.

You can generate type libraries from assemblies by using the Tlbexp utility.

How to: Wrap Multiple Versions of Type Libraries.

In Visual Basic, adding references to COM objects that have type libraries is similar to doing so in previous versions.

In Visual Basic 2005, references point to assemblies instead of type libraries.
