Get GUIDs/CLSIDs from Exe, dll, ocx, tlb, etc

A simple way of getting the GUID from an exe, dll, ocx, tlb is using the  TLBINF32.dll

This file is in the system path and it must be registered
(Remember to use regsvr32 if you haven't registered).

            TLI.TLIApplicationClass a = new TLI.TLIApplicationClass();
            try
            {

                TLI.TypeLibInfo inf = a.TypeLibInfoFromFile(@"c:\windows\system32\MSHFLXGD.OCX");
                MessageBox.Show(
                "TypeLibrary Name " +  inf.Name + "\r\n" + //name of (Type Library)
                "Tlb ID " +  inf.GUID + "\r\n" + // GUID for Library
                "LCID "  + inf.LCID + "\r\n" + // Language / Country
                "Major Version "+ inf.MajorVersion + "\r\n" + // Major Version
                "Minor Version "+ inf.MinorVersion); // Minor Version
                for (short i = 1; i < inf.TypeInfoCount; i++)
                {

                    TLI.TypeInfo inf2 = inf.TypeInfos[i];
                    MessageBox.Show("CLSID " + inf2.Name + " - " + inf2.GUID,i + " of " +
inf.TypeInfoCount);

                }
            }
            catch (Exception ee)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("No guid");
            }
