C# in a Nutshell

Name

ComImportAttribute

Synopsis

This attribute indicates that the type decorated by this attribute is in fact an unmanaged type defined in a previously published type library, and should be treated differently internally to support that.

This attribute is necessary only if the .NET type definition—the class definition in C#—is merely a “shim” for interacting with the unmanaged version. In most cases, .NET programmers only use this type when interacting with existing COM APIs, such as when building Explorer Shell Extensions.

public sealed class ComImportAttribute : Attribute {
// Public Constructors
   public method ComImportAttribute();  
}
