I need to write a wrapper code in C# for extracting all types contained inside type library(unmanaged COM server's TLB)

No, the `tlbimp.exe` utility will generate a managed assembly from the TLB which will contain all the types that are exposed.

Then how can I be able to write such code in C# to extract all types,interfaces,exposed functions with complete signatures of that COM server whose TLB is UNMANAGED?

A: 

Hi.

Once I wrote a TLB browser in VB. I used a COM component that shipped with VB 6 called TlbInf32.dll (you can still find this component in the web I guess).

Best
