Example
The following example demonstrates a Type element that represents 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>
