public class ImportTypelib
extends Task

Import a COM type library into the .NET framework.

This task is a wrapper to .NET's tlbimport; it imports a tlb file to a NET assembly by generating a binary assembly (.dll) that contains all the binding metadata. It uses date timestamps to minimise rebuilds.

Example

         <importtypelib
           srcfile="xerces.tlb"
           destfile="xerces.dll"
           namespace="Apache.Xerces"/>

Since:
  Ant 1.6
