    Might be they have some wrap over class informations written within the COM component. I actually am more like a novice when it comes to COM. Please forgive me :-O

      since c# com component deploy managed stuff, i believe might be you are not able to use it in c++ native.. but by the way... what C# dll is COM Server Exe or DLL

                it not necessary to have tlb file even in vc++(native) to use com component, you can directly import com dll or add Header File geenrated by actual com workspace .

                If I have a C++ client and a C# COM component. Without a tlb file, how could the C++ client utilizing the C# COM component? I do not think it could be achieved by using header file, since C# does not have any header files. For managed C++ client, we could import DLL directly, but for unmanaged C++ client, how could we utilize C# COM interfaces/classes without a tlb? regards, George

                Because the C# COM component implements IDispatch among other interfaces. With this one you have an automatized component, and you don't need to know the name of the method invoked, only their number (1, 2, 3, etc) which can be found in the extra information of the component, defined with IDL language.
