IMethodDef Interface
The IMethodDef interface, which inherits from IInterfaceMember, allows the model creator to define an ordered list of parameter definitions for a method. The IMethodDef interface is the default interface of the MethodDef class returned by the IInterfaceDef::CreateMethodDef method.
When to use
Use the IMethodDef interface to:
- Define a list of parameter definitions for a method.
- Generate fully descriptive Interface Definition Language (IDL) files from the information model.
