Marshal.GetTypeLibGuid Method (UCOMITypeLib)

NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Retrieves the library identifier (LIBID) of a type library.

Namespace:  System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetTypeLibGuid(ITypeLib pTLB) instead. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202&ID=0000011.", 
	false)]
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)]
public static Guid GetTypeLibGuid(
	UCOMITypeLib pTLB
)

Parameters

pTLB
Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.UCOMITypeLib

A UCOMITypeLib that represents an ITypeLib pointer.

Return Value

Type: System.Guid
The LIBID (that is, the Guid) of the type library pointed to by the pTLB parameter.

GetTypeLibGuid extracts the LIBID directly from an existing type library. This action differs from that of the Marshal.GetTypeLibGuidForAssembly method, which calculates what the LIBID should be based on the current assembly. For additional information about ITypeLib, see the MSDN Library.

NoteNote:

This method uses SecurityAction.LinkDemand to prevent it from being called from untrusted code; only the immediate caller is required to have SecurityPermissionAttribute.UnmanagedCode permission. If your code can be called from partially trusted code, do not pass user input to Marshal class methods without validation. For important limitations on using the LinkDemand member, see Demand vs. LinkDemand.
