Specifies that a content type should be included in code generation, and modifies which columns in the content type are included in code generation.

Remarks

A ContentType element cannot have both an ExcludeOtherColumns element and an IncludeHiddenColumns element.

Example

The following shows the IncludeHiddenColumns element in use. The presence of the element ensures that the code that is generated for the Contact content type class will have properties for the content type's hidden columns.
