IRemoteTypeContract.GetCanonicalName Method

Returns the canonical name of the current IRemoteTypeContract.

Namespace:  System.AddIn.Contract.Automation
Assembly:  System.AddIn.Contract (in System.AddIn.Contract.dll)
string GetCanonicalName()

Return Value

Type: System.String
The canonical name of the current IRemoteTypeContract.

The canonical name is a globally unique name, such as a fully qualified type name. Strings in the format <assembly name>, <fully qualified type name> are recommended for managed types. Strings in the format <type library name>, <type name> are recommended for COM types.

Do not change the canonical name for a type after the type is published. Changing the canonical name for a type in a future version of a component breaks compatibility between the component and clients that are already using the type.
