Register todayIMetaDataImport interface (rometadataapi.h)
Provides methods for importing and manipulating existing metadata from a portable executable (PE) file or other source, such as a type library or a stand-alone, run-time metadata binary.
The IMetaDataImport interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IMetaDataImport also has these types of members:
The IMetaDataImport interface has these methods.
| IMetaDataImport::CloseEnum Closes the enumerator that is identified by the specified handle. |
| IMetaDataImport::CountEnum Gets the number of elements in the enumeration that was retrieved by the specified enumerator. |
| IMetaDataImport::EnumCustomAttributes Enumerates custom attribute-definition tokens associated with the specified type or member. |
| IMetaDataImport::EnumEvents Enumerates event definition tokens for the specified TypeDef token. |
| IMetaDataImport::EnumFields Enumerates FieldDef tokens for the type referenced by the specified TypeDef token. |
| IMetaDataImport::EnumFieldsWithName Enumerates FieldDef tokens of the specified type with the specified name. |

| IMetaDataImport::GetFieldProps Gets metadata associated with the field referenced by the specified FieldDef token. |
| IMetaDataImport::GetInterfaceImplProps Gets a pointer to the metadata tokens for the Type that implements the specified method, and for the interface that declares that method. |
| IMetaDataImport::GetMemberProps Gets metadata information, including the name, binary signature, and relative virtual address, of the Type member referenced by the specified metadata token. |
| IMetaDataImport::GetMemberRefProps Gets metadata associated with the member referenced by the specified token. |
| IMetaDataImport::GetMethodProps Gets the metadata associated with the method referenced by the specified MethodDef token. |
| IMetaDataImport::GetMethodSemantics Gets flags indicating the relationship between the method referenced by the specified MethodDef token and the paired property and event referenced by the specified EventProp token. |
