GetDeclaredTypeClsid

Returns the COM CLSID (class identifier) associated with a declared type, resolved at compile time.

Syntax: GetDeclaredTypeClsid(Of T )() As String

T

required The type to query for. Typically a coclass declared with the CoClassId attribute or imported from a type library.

The CLSID is returned in registry format ({xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}). The lookup happens at compile time and the result is baked into the generated code as a string literal — there is no run-time call.

Returns an empty string if the type has no associated CLSID.
