Marshal::GetTypeLibGuid Method (ITypeLib^)

.NET Framework (current version)

Retrieves the library identifier (LIBID) of a type library.

Namespace: System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public:
[SecurityCriticalAttribute]
static Guid GetTypeLibGuid(
	ITypeLib^ typelib
)

Parameters

typelib: Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes::ITypeLib^
The type library whose LIBID is to be retrieved.

Return Value

Type: System::Guid

The LIBID of the specified type library.

GetTypeLibGuid extracts the LIBID directly from an existing type library. This action differs from that of the Marshal::GetTypeLibGuidForAssembly method, which calculates what the LIBID should be based on the current assembly.
