Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
type	Required xs:IDREF attribute. The fully qualified name of the type.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
Type	Represents a reference to a type that is used in the declaration of an attribute or event.

Example

The following example demonstrates a TypeReference element that describes the type of the delegate that handles a proxy event named ColorChanged. The type of the delegate is Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Samples.ShapeApp.ColorChangedEventHandler. Because the reference to this delegate is in a TypeReference element rather than an ExternalTypeReference element, this delegate must be defined elsewhere in the same proxy descriptor file.

<Event originalName="ColorChanged" isExcluded="false">
  <Type>
    <TypeReference type="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Samples.ShapeApp.ColorChangedEventHandler" />
  </Type>
</Event>
