How to resolve typelib references when using TypeLibConverter.ConvertTypeLibToAssembly

Im currently trying to use the method TypeLibConverter.ConvertTypeLibToAssembly. Im using the c# example found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k9w7de3e.aspx.

The example works for building a single dll, however the typelib i am converting has multiple references within it which need to be resolved. When the ConversionEventHandler ResolveRef(object typelib) method is called when a reference is found im passed the object typelib (which i dont know what to do with). How do i resolve reference and return a correct assembly

Any help is appreciated.

Code Example

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


public class App
{
  private enum RegKind
  {
    RegKind_Default = 0,
    RegKind_Register = 1,
    RegKind_None = 2
  }
  
  [ DllImport( "oleaut32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, PreserveSig = false )]
  private static extern void LoadTypeLibEx( String strTypeLibName, RegKind regKind, 
    [ MarshalAs( UnmanagedType.Interface )] out Object typeLib );
  
  public static void Main()
  {
    Object typeLib;
    LoadTypeLibEx( "Somedll.dll", RegKind.RegKind_None, out typeLib ); 
    
    if( typeLib == null )
    {
      Console.WriteLine( "LoadTypeLibEx failed." );
      return;
    }
      
    TypeLibConverter converter = new TypeLibConverter();
    ConversionEventHandler eventHandler = new ConversionEventHandler();
    AssemblyBuilder asm = converter.ConvertTypeLibToAssembly( typeLib, "Interop.Somedll.dll", 0, eventHandler, null, null, null, null );  
    asm.Save( "Interop.Somedll.dll" );
  }
}

public class ConversionEventHandler : ITypeLibImporterNotifySink
{
  public void ReportEvent( ImporterEventKind eventKind, int eventCode, string eventMsg )
  {
    // handle warning event here...
  }
  
  public Assembly ResolveRef( object typeLib )
  {
    // resolve reference here and return a correct assembly...

	//This is where im not sure how to do it

	return null; 
  }  
}
