You can also include one or more options that modify the behavior of AxImp. The following list 
describes these options.
➤➤
/out:
FileName
: Provides the name of the ActiveX library file you want to produce as output. If 
you don’t provide this argument, the default is to add 
Lib
to the end of the filename for the type 
library. For example, 
WMP.DLL
becomes 
WMPLib.DLL
and 
AxWMPLib.DLL
. Using this command 
line switch changes the name of the 
AxWMPLib.DLL
file. For example, if you type 
AxImp WMP 
.DLL /out:WMPOut.DLL
and press Enter, the utility now outputs 
WMPLib.DLL
and 
WMPOut.DLL
.

/publickey:
FileName
: Specifies the name of a file containing a strong name public key used 
to sign the assembly. There’s no default value.
➤
➤
/keyfile:
FileName
: Specifies the name of a file containing a strong name key pair used to 
sign the assembly. There’s no default value.
➤
➤
/keycontainer:
FileName
: Specifies the name of a key container containing a strong name 
key pair used to sign the assembly. There’s no default value.
➤
➤
/delaysign
: Sets the assembly to force a delay in signing. Use this option when you want to 
use the assembly for experimentation only.
➤
➤
/source
: Generates the C# source code for a Windows Forms wrapper. You don’t need to 
use this option when working in IronPython because the code doesn’t show how to use the 
wrapper — it simply shows the wrapper code itself.
