IMetaDataEmit::DefineImportType Method

Creates a reference to the specified type that is defined outside the current scope, and defines a token for that reference.

HRESULT DefineImportType ( 
    [in]  IMetaDataAssemblyImport  *pAssemImport, 
    [in]  const void               *pbHashValue, 
    [in]  ULONG                    cbHashValue,  
    [in]  IMetaDataImport          *pImport, 
    [in]  mdTypeDef                tdImport, 
    [in]  IMetaDataAssemblyEmit    *pAssemEmit, 
    [out] mdTypeRef                *ptr
);

Parameters

• pAssemImport
  [in] An IMetaDataAssemblyImport interface that represents the assembly from which the target type is imported.

• pbHashValue
  [in] An array that contains the hash for the assembly specified by pAssemImport.

• cbHashValue
  [in] The number of bytes in the pbHashValue array.

• pImport
  [in] An IMetaDataImport interface that represents the metadata scope from which the target type is imported.

• tdImport
  [in] An mdTypeDef token that specifies the target type.

• pAssemEmit
  [in] An IMetaDataAssemblyEmit interface that represents the assembly into which the target type is imported.

• ptr
  [out] The mdTypeRef token that is defined in the current scope for the type reference.

Remarks

Prior to calling the IMetaDataEmit::DefineImportMember method, you can use the DefineImportType method to create a type reference, in the current scope, for the member's parent class or parent interface.
