Visual Studio 2015
 

Gets a value indicating whether the interface is the source — that is, an interface that the client listens to, rather than calls.

Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the interface is the source; otherwise, false.

A source interface is an interface that communicates to the client, rather than an interface the client calls (for example, by way of connection points in C++). A server calls (or multiplexes the calls if the interface allows several clients), and the client implements the handler.

Only one interface can be marked [source] in a given coclass.
