Generating Type library with Visual Studio 2015

[Ed_1426]

In CVI, I have generated a type library from this article, http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052M-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/lwcvigeneratingtypelibr....

From MSDN, there is a tool that can generate a type library, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hfzzah2c.aspx.

Can this tool be made to do the same thing as the one in CVI or is there another workaround?

Hi Ed, 

I believe you are correct. The CVI tool and the Tlbexp.exe tool are both generating a type library for your assembly. The steps taken to generate the type library are different but they give the same results. 

I hope this helps!
