Type::GetTypeFromCLSID Method (Guid, String, Boolean)
Visual Studio 2010
Gets the type associated with the specified class identifier (CLSID) from the specified server, specifying whether to throw an exception if an error occurs while loading the type.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- clsid
- Type: System::Guid
The CLSID of the type to get.
- server
- Type: System::String
The server from which to load the type. If the server name is nullptr, this method automatically reverts to the local machine.
- throwOnError
- Type: System::Boolean
true to throw any exception that occurs.
-or-
false to ignore any exception that occurs.
Exceptions such as OutOfMemoryException will be thrown when specifying true for throwOnError, but it will not fail for unregistered CLSIDs.
The following example retrieves the type associated with the CLSID from the local host, specifying whether to throw an exception if an error occurs while loading the type.
// Create a GUID. Guid myGuid3 = Guid("8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B"); // Get the type associated with the CLSID // from the local host and specify whether to throw an exception if an // error occurs while loading the type. Type^ myType3 = Type::GetTypeFromCLSID( myGuid3, ".", true ); Console::WriteLine( "The GUID associated with myType3 is {0}.", myType3->GUID ); Console::WriteLine( "The type of the GUID is {0}.", myType3 );
