TypeToTypeInfoMarshaler Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.CustomMarshalers

Assembly:

CustomMarshalers.dll

Marshals the unmanaged ITypeInfo interface to the managed Type class, and marshals the managed Type class to the unmanaged ITypeInfo interface.

Remarks

The ITypeInfo interface exposed for a .NET type is based on the metadata that would appear in an exported type library. Likewise, the Type instance exposed for an ITypeInfo interface is based on the metadata that would appear in an imported assembly.

The Type Library Importer (Tlbimp.exe) marks ITypeInfo parameters with the appropriate MarshalAsAttribute with the CustomMarshaler enumeration member when converting signatures that use ITypeInfo parameters to signatures that use Type parameters.

The same conversion functionality can be accomplished without the custom marshaler, by calling GetITypeInfoForType and GetTypeForITypeInfo.
