problem in mts.

Question is:
I'm developing a component for mts, that to work with both c++&vb client.
Can i use my own data types(c++ struct)
as a parameter type to exchage information.... instead of having tomany
parameters for 1 funtion.
(e.g)
GetEmpDetails([in]int id,[out]BSTR* empName,[out]int* empAge,[out]BSTR*
empDept); // normal notation.
But i want to write a funtion like this:
typedef Struct public Employee
{
BSTR* name;
int age;
BSTR* empDept;
} myEmployee;
//
GetEmpDetails([in] int id, [out]Employee* emp);
//
Will this funtion work correctly if i deploy under MTS package? THAT'S MY
QUESTION?
Thanks in Adv

As long as the structure is public exposed in the component's typelib then
yes it will work.

Thanks a lot Jones, after so many postings i got the answer.

I have one more issue related to my question:
What kind of marsaler i have to use when i have my own public
struct. Whether i can continue to use with Automation marshaler,
or to generate standared marsaler from MIDL proxy/stub files.
Which marshaler i have to use in what scenorio.

Thanks& Regards,
Balaji

The univeral marshaler will handle the marshalling of structures. That's
why a type lib definition is needed.
