Using a COM dll from C# without a type library

Question

I need to use a COM component (a dll) developed in Delphi ages ago. The problem is: the dll does not contain a type library... and every interop feature (eg. TlbImp) in .NET

Answer 1

Write a wrapper in VB.Net. VB.Net supports true late binding (no messy reflection). All you need is the progId. You should also implement IDisposable to explicitely manage the component lifecycle.
