    The essential file you need is fxscom.dll in your WINDOWS\system32 directory. If it's not there try to install FAX Services from Windows components.

    If the file exists, click the right mouse button on References in Solution Explorer and choose "Add Reference...".

    Select the COM tab on the next dialog.

    Scroll down and select the component named "faxcom 1.0 Type Library".

    Click ok.

    Now, FAXCOMLib should have been added to the References in Solution Explorer.

    Take a look at the following link for an example of how to use this library:

    As a former manufacturer of a FAX gateway I would not recommend to start programming a FAX service from scratch. Better buy some third party product if FAXCOMLib does not provide what you need.

    Take a look at the following links if you want to use a Web based fax service:

    Thanks for your help but I means by my question that when I Select the COM tab there aren’t any component named "faxcom 1.0 Type Library" ( fxscom.dll exist in my WINDOWS\system32 directory ) I find only FaxControl 1.0 Type Library and when I click ok FAXCONTROLLib is added .
