T:Windows.UI.Xaml.Interop.TypeName |
winrt struct |
Substitutes for System.Type such that type information reported by other APIs doesn't have a dependency on the common language runtime (CLR). This structure is used as a value by properties such as UnderlyingType and Type.
.NET When programming with .NET, this type is hidden and you should use the System.Type type. All Windows Runtime APIs that use a TypeName per the raw IDL signatures will instead use System.Type values when you use the API with .NET code.
C++/WinRT You can use the winrt::xaml_typename<T>() helper function to create a TypeName object. See winrt::xaml_typename function template for more details, and a code example.
The name of the type. Depending on the value of Kind (see below), Name can contain any of the following.
- If Kind is set to TypeKind::Custom, then the contents of Name is unspecified, and language-projection-dependent (in the case of C#, the value is a fully-qualified name).
- If Kind is set to TypeKind::Metadata, then Name contains the Windows Runtime class name, such as "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button".
- If Kind is set to TypeKind::Primitive, then Name contains a primitive name, such as "Int32".
A TypeKind value containing basic guidance regarding the origin of the type.
If you are using Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX), then Name and Kind are read-write properties, not fields. This definition of the structure is provided by platform.winmd, as part of the extension behavior.
If you are programming with C++ using the Windows Runtime Template Library (WRL), then Name and Kind are fields.
