Using Labview dll in C#

[trashVin]

Hi , Im currently converting a VB6 app to C3 that uses a LabView Type Library . The previous developer only gave the file with .tlb extension (e.g. LabView.tlb).

Is this file enough to make  the application work in .NET or i need the other file with .dll or .exe extension (e.g. LabView.dll or LabView.exe)?

Thanks.

A .tlb file contains just the information about classes, interfaces, etc. There's no actual code. The actual code is in the .dll file. So without that, you can't really do much of anything.


EDIT: Addendum: That's assuming you're actually trying to run it. If the .tlb is registered with the system, then it should appear (I believe) as a COM object to .NET so you can at least program it.
