how to embed dll in vc++? how to extract that emeded dll to local drive? how to create tlb file based on the dll runtime?

I am working with vb.net .. I am new in vc++. I need to write some code in vc++ in some case. I need vc++ for following reason.

I created one dll in vb.net and make a tlb file based on vb.net dll. I import physical tlb file in my vc++ code with static value, as mentioned following.

#import "C:\Documents and Settings\Ankit.ass\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SetupValidationPro\SetupValidationPro\bin\Debug\SetupValidationPro.tlb" named_guids raw_interfaces_only

That's work fine.. My problem is that, I want to create a tlb file dynamically or runtime using vc++ and load that tlb file dynamically.

So, I need to embed a dll in vc++. How can I embed dll in vc++?

Now, I want to extract my embed dll to some physical file. so how can I extract my dll to physical location in vc++?

And, at the last step I want to create a tlb file dynamicall开发者_如何转开发y using that extracted dll using vc++.. and load tlb file dynamically.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Ankit

This is the MFC code from which solved my issue. This code embeds the resources, extracts the resources and registers the type library at run-time.
