[C++/WinRT] How to configure VS to generate the .tlb file?

Question

Hi all,

In the C++ Dynamic Library project with Microsoft.Windows.CppWinRT nuget package installed, I need to generate the .tlb file (for now, it just generates the .winmd file).

This is my .idl file:

namespace SideBySideCpp 
{     
     runtimeclass SideBySideCppClass     
     {         
           SideBySideCppClass();         
           String Name;     
     } 
}

Could you tell me how to do it?

Thank you,

Dung Huynh.

Hi,
Winmd (Windows Metadata) in WinRT, is the modern version of the old TLB (type library) files from COM.
And WinRT sets project properties: Generate Type Library: No
