Class ImportTypelib

Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable

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
