Visual Studio 2008
The System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes namespace contains methods that are defintions of COM functions for managed code. These functions replace the now-obsolete UCOM* methods in the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace.
| Structure | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BIND_OPTS | Stores the parameters that are used during a moniker binding operation. |
| BINDPTR | Contains a pointer to a bound-to FUNCDESC structure, VARDESC structure, or an ITypeComp interface. |
| CONNECTDATA | Describes a connection that exists to a given connection point. |
| DISPPARAMS | Contains the arguments passed to a method or property by IDispatch::Invoke. |
| ELEMDESC | Contains the type description and process transfer information for a variable, function, or a function parameter. |
| ELEMDESC::DESCUNION | Contains information about an element. |
| EXCEPINFO | Describes the exceptions that occur during IDispatch::Invoke. |
| FILETIME | Represents the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. This structure is a 64-bit value. |
| FORMATETC | Represents a generalized Clipboard format. |
| FUNCDESC | Defines a function description. |
| IDLDESC | Contains information needed for transferring a structure element, parameter, or function return value between processes. |
| PARAMDESC | Contains information about how to transfer a structure element, parameter, or function return value between processes. |
| STATDATA | Provides the managed definition of the STATDATA structure. |
| STATSTG | Contains statistical information about an open storage, stream, or byte-array object. |
| STGMEDIUM | Provides the managed definition of the STGMEDIUM structure. |
| TYPEATTR | Contains attributes of a UCOMITypeInfo. |
| TYPEDESC | Describes the type of a variable, return type of a function, or the type of a function parameter. |
| TYPELIBATTR | Identifies a particular type library and provides localization support for member names. |
| VARDESC | Describes a variable, constant, or data member. |
| VARDESC::DESCUNION | Contains information about a variable. |
