.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Interop / August 2006Since Visual Studio 2005 error loading type library
Hello, After I installed Visual Studio 2005 I noticed that when I try to add a reference to a type library (tlb) I get the message "Could not load the type library, Error loading the type library. After much research I uninstalled VS2005 and went back VS2003 but with still the same problem. Note: Before I installed VS2005 adding a reference to type libraries in my projects using VS2003 worked fine, this is why I am assuming it has something to do with VS2005. I really need help with this. Does anyone know what I could do to resolve this? Thank you in advance for your help!  Signaturemj -- mj Hi I understand that the tlb file you means is COM Object but not a ActiveX control. If I misunderstand, please let me know. Because the VS.NET 2005 IDE will generally do the similar job as the tool tlbimp did. So I think you may try to use the tlbimp tool to generate the interop assembly to see what is the detailed error message. Also I understand that add reference to the tlb previously understand Vs.NET 2003 will work fines. I assume the tlb file is OK. But because the tlb file may refer to other dll/tlb file, the problem may be caused by that certain tlb/dll required by the tlb is changed or corrupted. So please try the tlbimp directly to see what is the error message.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your quick response. I will do as you have suggested. With all the other test I have done it looks like the tlb given to me by a third party vendor is currupted. I will do what you suggested to further test the tlb file. Thanks again for all your help!
