Creates .NET proxy components from COM+ Type Libraries. The components will be created as C# or VB.NET source code in a generated Visual Studio solution. The classes in the generated solution are accessing the COM Server with late binding reflection technique.
This project is a helper for NetOffice library that provides version independent access to Microsoft Office.
NetOffice source code is generated using LateBinding Code Generator from a project file.
NetOffice project files (named like NetOffice 1.7.3.xml) are XML documents with information about
all type libraries in Microsoft Office applications.
Use can use command line tool codegen.exe to regenerate NetOffice code:
codegen.exe --project "NetOffice 1.7.3.xml" --ref "RerefenceIndex2.xml" --keyfiles "KeyFiles\4.5" --output "build"
You will need these files:
- NetOffice 1.7.3.xml - NetOffice project file
- RerefenceIndex2.xml - index file with links to MSDN documentation pages
- KeyFiles\4.5 - a KeyFiles folder which contains all
.snkfiles which are used to sign NetOffice assemblies
To analyze COM+ type libraries, you need the free Microsoft TypeLib API ActiveX library (TLBINF32.DLL). If the library is not registered on your system, use these commands in elevated command prompt:
> nuget restore
> cd packages\TypeLibInformation.1.1.0\tools
> regsvr32.exe /s /i TlbInf32.dll

The main branch contains stable release codebase. Use the develop branch to implement new features.
