Marshal.GetComSlotForMethodInfo Method
Retrieves the virtual function table (v-table or VTBL) slot for a specified System.Reflection.MemberInfo type when that type is exposed to COM.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- m
- Type: System.Reflection.MemberInfo
An object that represents an interface method.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The m parameter is null. |
| ArgumentException | The m parameter is not a MemberInfo object. -or- The m parameter is not an interface method. |
The zero-based slot number returned by this method accounts for three IUnknown and possibly four IDispatch methods, making the value of the first available slot either 3 or 7. GetComSlotForMethodInfo provides the opposite functionality of Marshal.GetMethodInfoForComSlot.
You can use this method to retrieve slot numbers for members of interfaces that are not visible from COM and for members of private interfaces. The slot numbers returned correspond to the v-table numbers that would be reserved if the type was exposed to COM. COM-invisible members actually occupy a slot in an exposed v-table, even though the COM client cannot use the slot. You cannot use GetComSlotForMethodInfo on a class interface by passing MemberInfo from a class. For additional information, see Introducing the Class Interface.
