Attributes and Elements

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

Attributes

Attribute	Description
GUID	Required guid_Type attribute. The GUID of the COM class. The value must be a valid GUID without enclosing braces ({}).
isAddInEntryPoint	Optional xs:boolean attribute. true if the class is an entry point in the proxy assembly; otherwise, false. The default is false. For more information about entry points, see Defining Entry Points and Other Proxy Changes.
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.
newName	Optional identifier_Type attribute. The name of the new proxy class.
newNamespace	Optional name_Type attribute. The namespace of the new proxy class.
originalFullyQualifiedName	Required xs:ID attribute. The fully qualified name of the COM class in the host application's object model.
SourceInterfaceGUID	Optional guid_Type attribute. The GUID of the source interface for the class. The value must be a valid GUID without enclosing braces ({}).

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.
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.
Event	Optional COMEvent_Type element. Represents an event that is defined in the class.
ImplementedInterface	Optional TypeReference_Type element. Represents an interface that the class implements.
Method	Optional COMMethod_Type element. Represents a method that is defined in the class.
Property	Optional COMProperty_Type element. Represents a property that is defined in the class.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
COMLibrary	Describes the contents of the COM type library that was passed to ProxyGen.exe.
