Hello,
is it possible to build a c# dll and tlb files in a win7 64 bits computer and make it work in a win7 32bits computer?
Thanks in advance :)
Edit: I am using a c++ dll that calls the .tlb file generated in my c# COM interop dll proj.

A:
If you're building a pure C# DLL, you won't end up with a TLB file. Build it with a target of "Any CPU" and it will work fine on 32 or 64 bit computers.
You'd normally only need a TLB file if you're exporting a COM component (as I understand it) - do you need to do that?

yes, I am using a c++ dll that calls the .tlb file generated in my c# COM interop dll.

@aF: Okay... that makes it harder and somewhat out of my realm of expertise. Is the C++ DLL built as 32-bit or 64-bit? In the bigger picture, is this going to be running as a 64-bit process on 64-bit machines, and a 32-bit process on 32-bit machines?

is it possible to be a single process that works on both machines? Or it has to be one for each?

@aF: I believe that if you have 32-bit binaries across the board, it should work fine using WoW64. I think the difficulty comes if you try to mix them within the same process. I should emphasize that I have no experience of this though, so I could be completely wrong.
