Each base class for a user-defined type (UDT) symbol is identified by a child with a SymTagBaseClass tag. The IDiaSymbol::get_type property contains the symbol for the underlying UDT, and all properties of the underlying UDT are available as part of this BaseClass symbol.
Properties
The following table shows additional valid properties for this symbol type.
