Imports ActiveX controls and generates a wrapper that can be accessed by a designer.
Assembly: System.Design (in System.Design.dll)
Thetype exposes the following members.
|Equals(Object)||Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)|
|Finalize||Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)|
|GenerateFromFile||Generates a wrapper for an ActiveX control for use in the design-time environment.|
|GenerateFromTypeLibrary(UCOMITypeLib)||Generates a wrapper for an ActiveX control for use in the design-time environment.|
|GenerateFromTypeLibrary(UCOMITypeLib, Guid)||Generates a wrapper for an ActiveX control for use in the design-time environment.|
|GetFileOfTypeLib||Gets the path and file name to the specified type library.|
|GetHashCode||Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)|
|GetType||Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)|
|MemberwiseClone||Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)|
|ToString||Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)|
To generate an ActiveX wrapper for an ActiveX control, first create or obtain an instance of the class. The constructor accepts an AxImporter.Options object, which sets options for the importer, such as the filename for the wrapper .dll to generate and the output directory to generate the wrapper to. To generate the ActiveX wrapper, call the appropriate Generate method. To generate from a file, call GenerateFromFile. To generate from a type library, call GenerateFromTypeLibrary. The string that is returned will consist of an assembly qualified name (example: "Namespace.Type,Assembly") for the type an ActiveX wrapper was generated for. The wrapper for the ActiveX control will be generated in the .dll file specified in the outputName property of the AxImporter.Options passed to the constructor. The type can be loaded or queried using System.Reflection and treated as an ordinary managed type. You can also call the GetOcx method of the type to retrieve a COM interface to the object, if the object supports this.
