    We product two COM components that our customers use. We are currently using a tool based loosly on the old NDoc tool to find differences between versions (yes its odd to use NDoc on type libraries, but it used to do a lot more). I am looking to replace that tool with one designed to report differences between two releases of a TypeLib. Does anyone have any suggestions?

      I use OleView.exe that comes along with Visual Studio to view type libraries and check for differences.

          You could write a simple program to do that. Use the ITypeLib and ITypeInfo interfaces.

          «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

            Sure, that is likely what I will do, but I would rather use an existing tool if there is one.
