Hi,

I have a COM dll which was created in VS2003. After that I converted it to 2005. My project is in .NET environment so it needs an interop.dll corresponding to that COM dll. I have an InteropGenerator for creating interop dll which is in VS2003. I also converted it into 2005 for generating interop of COM dll(created in VS2005). But interop is not creating with same date and time as that of COM dll. My question is, can I use resulted interop? For registering the new COM dll does it need the corresponding .tlb file(in VS2005)? Because for my project path I need to copy .tlb file.

Solution 1

Rule of thumb: corresponding binaries should be created with the same version of VS (this also is including service packs)

else: "it can work" - yes really, but it must not
