Does the order of elements within a struct matter?

struct Person {

  int age;

  String name;

}

vs

struct Person {

  String name;

  int age;

I am new to RTI/DDS.   I am using .Net.  I am able to download, build, and run the rticonnextdds-getting-started hello_world with Visual Studio 2022.   I have build some idl that has includes.  My rtiddsgen commands is this:

rtiddsgen -language c# -d generated -ppOption /nologo -ppOption /C -ppOption /E -ppOption /X -ppOption -C -ppPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\HostX64\x64\cl.exe" *.idl

I have a topic containing a struct that leverages inheritance. I would like to simulate sending this topic to a receiver who only has the base struct in its IDL for the topic.

I'm basically trying to simulate the shapes demo (extended shapes publisher / base shapes subscriber), but I would like to see the messages (and values) of the topics sent and received. Is there a tool for that?

I'm simply trying to compile some ild files. What arguments can I include to prevent the plugin and support files from being generated?

My command line command is something like:

pathToRTIDDSGEN   -inputIdl pathToInput  -d pathToOutputCompiledFiles  -replace -language C++ -namespace -optimization 2 -verbosity 3
