Reply To: Creating AxInterop.XMetaLControlLib

Hi Michael,

When you add a project reference to the XMAX dll, Visual Studio should auto-generate these two dlls.  You can search the project directory to see if the Ax…dll is there.  If the Ax….dll is not generated, you can use aximp.exe to generate it.  Generally, it is recommended to delete these two project references prior to reimporting the reference to a newer version of the XMAX dll (or any other COM dll).

Beyond the information provided above, we recommend searching Visual Studio forums for more help.  Here are few links I found while researching your question:
