Struct Element (ProxyGen)

Represents a proxy class for a managed struct in the host application's object model. When you use ProxyGen.exe to generate a proxy code file, it generates a class, rather than a struct, for every Struct element in the proxy descriptor file. For more information, see Proxies for Managed Assemblies.

<Class isExcluded = "true/false"
    isStatic = "true/false"
    newName = "Name of proxy class"
    newNamespace = "Namespace of proxy class"
    originalFullyQualifiedName = "Fully qualified name of original managed class">
  <Attribute>...</Attribute>
  <BaseType>...</BaseType>
  <Class>...</Class>
  <Constant>...</Constant>
  <Delegate>...</Delegate>

Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
isExcluded	Optional xs:boolean attribute. true to omit the class from the proxy code; false to include the class in the proxy code. The default is false.
isStatic	Optional xs:boolean attribute. true to declare the class using the static keyword; otherwise, false. The default is false.
newName	Optional identifier_Type attribute. The name of the proxy class.
newNamespace	Optional name_Type attribute. The namespace of the proxy class.
originalFullyQualifiedName	Required xs:ID attribute. The fully qualified name of the original struct in the host application's object model.

Child Elements

Element	Description
Attribute	Optional Attribute_Type element. Represents an attribute that is applied to the class.
BaseType	Optional TypeReference_Type element. Describes the base type of the class.
Class	Optional ManagedEntryPoint_Type element. Represents a nested class that is defined in the class.
Constant	Optional Constant_Type element. Represents a constant that is defined in the class.
Delegate	Optional Delegate_Type element. Represents a delegate that is defined in the class.
Enum	Optional Enum_Type element. Represents an enumeration that is defined in the class.
Exception	Optional Exception_Type element. Represents an exception that is defined in the class.
Event	Optional ManagedEvent_Type element. Represents an event that is defined in the class.
ImplementedInterface	Optional TypeReference_Type element. Represents an interface that the class implements.
Interface	Optional ManagedEntryPoint_Type element. Represents a nested interface that is defined in the class.
Method	Optional ManagedMethod_Type element. Represents a method that is defined in the class.
Property	Optional ManagedProperty_Type element. Represents a property that is defined in the class.
Struct	Optional ManagedType_Type element. Represents a nested struct that is defined in the class.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
ManagedLibrary	Describes the contents of the managed assembly that was passed to ProxyGen.exe.
Class	Represents the parent class in which the class is defined.
Struct	Represents the parent struct in which the class is defined.

Example

The following example demonstrates a Struct element that represents a proxy class named Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Samples.ShapeApp.Point.

<Struct originalFullyQualifiedName="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Samples.ShapeApp.Point"
    isExcluded="false">
  <Method originalName="op_Implicit" isExcluded="false" isStatic="true">
    <Parameter originalName="point">
      <Type>
        <TypeReference type="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Samples.ShapeApp.Point" />
      </Type>
    </Parameter>
    <ReturnType>
      <ExternalTypeReference isInterface="false" type="System.Drawing.Point" />
    </ReturnType>
  </Method>
  <Property originalName="X" isExcluded="false">
    <Type>
      <ExternalTypeReference isInterface="false" type="System.Int32" />
    </Type>
    <Get isExcluded="false" />
    <Set isExcluded="false" />
  </Property>
  <Property originalName="Y" isExcluded="false">
    <Type>
      <ExternalTypeReference isInterface="false" type="System.Int32" />
    </Type>
    <Get isExcluded="false" />
    <Set isExcluded="false" />
  </Property>
</Struct>
