Detailed Description

<<interface>> Base class for DDS::Topic, DDS::ContentFilteredTopic, and DDS::MultiTopic.

ITopicDescription represents the fact that both publications and subscriptions are tied to a single data-type. Its attribute type_name defines a unique resulting type for the publication or the subscription and therefore creates an implicit association with a DDS::TypeSupport.

ITopicDescription has also a name that allows it to be retrieved locally.

◆ get_type_name()

System::String ^ DDS::ITopicDescription::get_type_name ( )
