VB.NET Core Classes 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 VB.NET — 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.
