What is Tlbexp.exe tool?

Rating:

Type Library Exporter (Tlbexp.exe) tool is used to generate a type library that contains type definitions defined in the assembly. However, this tool cannot be used to produce a type library that is imported using the Tlbimp.exe tool. Instead, it can be used to export a type library from an assembly. The generated type library is placed either in the current working directory or the directory specified for the output file. A single assembly can generate multiple type libraries. Unlike the Tlbimp.exe tool, the Tlbexp.exe tool does not register a type library.

The syntax for using the Tlbexp.exe tool is as follows:

tlbexp assemblyName [/out:file] [/nologo] [/silent] [/verbose]

In the above syntax, the assemblyName is the assembly name that generates the type library to be exported. The options that are used with the syntax are as follows:

Option	Description
/out:file	It specifies the name of the type library file, which is to be generated.
/nologo	It suppresses the display of the Microsoft logo.
/silent	It suppresses the display of success messages.
/verbose	It specifies the verbose mode. It displays a list of referenced assemblies for the type libraries that are to be generated.
