How to use tlbimp.exe's /keycontainer switch?

Question

Anybody have an example of how to use tlbimp.exe's /keycontainer command line switch?

The googles...they don't help. It's always /publickey, or /keyfile. No example of using /keycontainer.

Answer 1

Well, to answer my own question for the sake of anyone else who may find themselves in this situation:

First, you need to put your public/private key into a 'container'. sn.exe can do this for you:

sn.exe -i MySpecial.pfx MagicContainerName

Then you can use tlbimp.exe like so:

tlbimp.exe MyActiveX.dll /out:MyActiveX.Interop.dll /keycontainer:MagicContainerName

Finally, cleanup the container you created:

sn.exe -d MagicContainerName
