How To generate a tlb file from a windows dll file and then use this tlb to create c# wrapper

Question

It is possible to create a  wrapper of any windows dll file, is it?

so in order to do this I find that I have to generate a tlb file and then I can use some tools from MS to generate the c# wrapper

How do I generate the tlb file?

I'm not exactly sure why you need a .tlb file. If it's a COM DLL you can add it to your C# project (Project...Add Reference...COM tab). Standard Windows DLL files do not require a type library file. Below is an example of using C# with the Windows API.
