Anyone know how to reference a DLL which does not have a separate .tib
file? I have generated the DLL using WSDL.exe and VBC.exe. It
generates a single output, a dll file. It includes the information that
C++ would put in a separate .tib file. However for visual basic, it is
all combined together. However, Access references wants to select the
..tib file.

According to this article

http://www.geeksengine.com/article/create-dll.html

I need to a) make the dll "COM visible" and 2) register the assembly as
a COM component in the Windows registry.

I am using WSDL to generate the VB.net class code and VBC.exe to
generate the dll. I do not see any option to make the dll COM visible.

Other than to use Visual Studio as per the article, how can I achieve
these??

So far it appears you can ONLY do this using Visual Studio.

Surely there should be a way to do this without visual studio??

except using the regasm with /libfile and /reg results in a error that
my dll is not a valid .net assembly.

Do you need the reference? Some DLLs can be used directly from
within the code without a reference or registering. Although those
DLLs likely need to be in the same folder as your Access FE database
file. I'm thinking specifically of Leban's printer PDF DLLs and the
open source Info Zip DLLs.

Maybe no one here has used WSDL.exe to generate a SOAP proxy that allows
web service access AND includes the ability to modify the custom header
data values required by the web service (which the Office web generation
tool will not do).

But did you try using it in your code without a reference?

the three structures defined in the proxy. Can you help and tell me how
