.NET Framework Home: Beyond (COM) Add Reference: Has Anyone Seen the Bridge?

NET Development (General) Technical Articles: "The System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace contains nearly 300 classes. There are also a variety of Interop command line tools in the .NET Framework SDK. If that's not scary enough, many issues arise in any non-trivial Interop project resulting from the nuances of COM, and the vast differences between COM and .NET. I have learned from personal experience that the developer will very frequently be required to go beyond the (COM) Add Reference wizard, and use these command line tools, as well as understand at a deeper level what is going on in order to have things work as expected (or just even work!).
This article starts where 'Add Reference' leaves off. "
