tli file syntax errors

I have a C++ file and it imports from a C# library like this:

#import "myLib.tlb"
using namespace myLib;

When I compile I get tons of syntx errors in the tli file - this is a file that is automatically generated right?

error C2059: syntax error : '::'
error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '::'
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)
error C2589: 'constant' : illegal token on right side of '::'
warning C4091: 'inline ' : ignored on left of 'long' when no variable is declared
warning C4278: 'WM_USER': identifier in type library 'myLib.tlb' is already a macro; use the 'rename' qualifier

any ideas?

sounds like a c# - question, you better ask it in the c# - area ....

My automatically generated C++ code is what is not compiling. Using my C# library from my other application which is in VB.NET has never given me any problems.

I think the problem lies with the way I import the library in C++...

I found the problem - had a function called WM_USER() in the C# library which C++ did not like. Changed the name and all is well.
