question about COM registering in VS.net / VS2005

Hi there,

Just a quick question: what exactly does Visual Studio do when
registering an assembly for COM? I am looking to do this manually, but
can't seem to figure out the steps to do so.

Regards,

Vinny

If you are doing so you've already written some COM compatible classes.

The next steps are to:
1. Use sn.exe to create a key and give your assembly a strong name.
2. Use tlbexp.exe to generate a type library.
3. Use regasm.exe to register the assembly and use the /tlb switch to
include the type library.

If you want to do this manually there a numerous articles. Search for
"expose .NET to COM".
