TLBID:id
## Remarks where: `id` A user-specified value for a linker-created type library. It overrides the default resource ID of 1. ## Remarks When compiling a program that uses attributes, the linker will create a type library. The linker will assign a resource ID of 1 to the type library. If this resource ID conflicts with one of your existing resources, you can specify another ID with /TLBID. The range of values that you can pass to `id` is 1 to 65535. ### To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment 1. Open the project's **Property Pages** dialog box.
