ImportedFromTypeLibAttribute Class
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)] [AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Assembly, Inherited=false)] public sealed class ImportedFromTypeLibAttribute : Attribute
/** @attribute ComVisibleAttribute(true) */ /** @attribute AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Assembly, Inherited=false) */ public final class ImportedFromTypeLibAttribute extends Attribute

Not applicable.
You can apply this attribute to assemblies, although the Type Library Importer (Tlbimp.exe) typically applies it for you when it a type library.
The primary use of the attribute is to capture the original source of the type information. For example, you can import A.tlb as an interop assembly called A.dll and have assembly B.dll reference A.dll. When you export B.dll to B.tlb, this attribute causes the references in B.tlb that point to A.dll to point instead to A.tlb. This should not be confused with the ComImportAttribute, which specifies that an individual type is implemented in COM.
