IMetaDataEmit::DefineNestedType Method

Creates the metadata signature of a type definition, returns an mdTypeDef token for that type, and specifies that the defined type is a member of the type referenced by the tdEncloser parameter.

Syntax

HRESULT DefineNestedType (
    [in]  LPCWSTR     szTypeDef,
    [in]  DWORD       dwTypeDefFlags,
    [in]  mdToken     tkExtends,
    [in]  mdToken     rtkImplements[],
    [in]  mdTypeDef   tdEncloser,
    [out] mdTypeDef   *ptd
);

Parameters

szTypeDef [in] The name of the type in Unicode.

dwTypeDefFlags [in] TypeDef attributes. This is a bitmask of CorTypeAttr values.

rtkImplements[] [in] An array of tokens that specify the interfaces that this class or interface implements.
