IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE_BLOB Structure

Contains information about a single attribute in an assembly, and consists of three DWORDs. Each DWORD is an offset into a character buffer produced by the CurrentIntoBuffer method of the IEnumIDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE interface

typedef struct _IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE_BLOB {
    DWORD  ofsNamespace;
    DWORD  ofsName;
    DWORD  ofsValue;
}   IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE_BLOB;

Sample

The following example illustrates several basic steps, which eventually result in a populated IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE_BLOB structure:

1. Obtain an IReferenceIdentity for the assembly.

2. Call the IReferenceIdentity::EnumAttributes method, and obtain an IEnumIDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE.

3. Create a character buffer, and cast it as an IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE_BLOB structure.

4. Call the CurrentIntoBuffer method of the IEnumIDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE interface. This method copies the attributes Namespace, Name, and Value into the character buffer. The three offsets to those strings will become available in the IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTE_BLOB structure.
