TypeName Struct
Definition
Substitutes for System.Type such that type information reported by other APIs doesn't have a dependency on the common language runtime (CLR). This structure is used as a value by properties such as UnderlyingType and Type.
.NET When programming with .NET, this type is hidden and you should use the System.Type type. All Windows Runtime APIs that use a TypeName per the raw IDL signatures will instead use System.Type values when you use the API with .NET code.
C++/WinRT You can use the winrt::xaml_typename<T>() helper function to create a TypeName object. See winrt::xaml_typename function template for more details, and a code example.
public value class TypeName/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.ContractVersion(Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract, 65536)]
/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.WebHostHidden]
struct TypeName[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.ContractVersion(typeof(Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract), 65536)]

Remarks
Projection and members of TypeName
If you are using Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX), then Name and Kind are read-write properties, not fields. This definition of the structure is provided by platform.winmd, as part of the extension behavior.
If you are programming with C++ using the Windows Runtime Template Library (WRL), then Name and Kind are fields.
Fields
| Kind |
A TypeKind value containing basic guidance regarding the origin of the type. |
| Name |
The name of the type. Depending on the value of Kind (see below), Name can contain any of the following.
