The Export Type Library action creates a step to call TlbExp to generate a COM type library that describes types defined in a .NET assembly.

 

 

Assembly filename: The assembly for which to export a type library (required).

 

Type library filename: Specifies the name of the type library file to generate (optional). If blank, the action generates a type library with the same name as the assembly (the actual assembly name, which might not necessarily be the same as the file containing the assembly) and a .tlb extension.

 

Capitalization of names in type library: Specifies the capitalization of names in a type library (optional). Each line specifies the capitalization of one name in the type library.

 

Additional command-line options: Use this field to enter any additional command-line options to be added to the call that is constructed (optional).

 

Show command-line constructed: Shows the command-line details for the TlbExp call. This can be useful for debugging purposes.

 

Note: This action expects the DOTNETSDK_DIR macro to be defined, pointing to the base directory of the .NET SDK installation path.  A global DOTNETSDK_DIR macro for the latest version of the .NET Framework is initialized during installation and can be updated by clicking the Reload button on the File Locations tab of the Application Options dialog.  Or a project or temporary DOTNETSDK_DIR macro can be created to specify the path to use.
