VB.NET AND Solidworks 2005 -- Urgent

Gururs,

I am building a commandline client which translates a solidworks
drawing to an autocad drawing. Everything is working fine but when i
reference the solidworks typelibs, it creates Interop.SldWorks.dll in
the bin directory.

How do I register SldWorks.dll? Is there anyway I can get rid of this
dll?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mals

If you find the Interop.SldWorks.dll in your build folder, you have
successfully registered SldWorks.dll. Basically what happens is that Visual
Studio creates automatically so called "inter-operation wrapper" around
SldWorks.dll. Due to the ".NET Frameworkd architecture" you cannot call
SldWorks.dll directly from VB.NET. Actually you work with the interop
wrapper, which does the dirty job with the "unmanaged code" behind the
scenes. So basically - don't worry, just add reference to SldWorks.dll (as
you apparently have done) and go on as usually, the wrapper is created for
you but you don't have to worry about that.
