Summary

The .NET framework provides the COM Interop services for interacting with the existing COM infrastructure. COM components can be accessed from C# clients by using early binding and late binding. The utilities available for interaction between COM components and C# clients are TlbImp.exe, AxImp.exe, and RegAsm.exe. The TlbExp.exe utility can be used to create type library information that can be used by COM-enabled clients. Platform Invocation Services help in invoking methods in unmanaged DLLs from managed code.
