ISymbolDocumentWriter Interface

Represents a document referenced by a symbol store.

Namespace:  System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

'Declaration
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
Public Interface ISymbolDocumentWriter
'Usage
Dim instance As ISymbolDocumentWriter

A document is defined by a URL and a document type GUID. Optionally, the document source can be stored in the symbol store.

NoteNote:

This interface is the managed counterpart of the ISymUnmanagedDocumentWriter interface, one of the unmanaged symbol store interfaces that provide an alternative way to read and write debug symbol information.

The following code example demonstrates how an ISymbolDocumentWriter can be obtained when calling DefineDocument.
