Accessing extension in ArcScene

Question

hello

I have been updating an ArcGIS extension which I created in VB6 into VB.NET using Visual Studio 2008.  I have been working on the ArcMap tools and commands and everything is working well so far - the tools etc are working.  I started to today with an ArcScene tool and when I tried to add the dll file of the extension in ArcScene I get the following message:

"Can't load type library from specified file."

What I have missed?

cheers

If your Command/Tool does not have any registration code and you are manually "Add From File" via the Customize dialog, then try to add the type library (.tbl) file instead of the .dll file.

thanks James, that worked perfectly ... will worry about proper deployment of the whole thing once I've reached that stage ...
