COM Data Types 

  • Artigo

The following table shows data types used in COM and their corresponding .NET Framework built-in value types or classes. Any type not explicitly identified in this table is converted to an Int32 system type. For corresponding types in Visual Basic 2005, C#, and C++, see the Introduction to the .NET Framework Class Library.

The following table lists COM value and reference types that convert to corresponding element types. For example, a COM coclass automatically maps to a managed class with the same name.
