ParameterDef Object
A parameter definition object represents the parameter of a method.
A ParameterDef object is also a RepositoryObject and a RepositoryObjectVersion object. You can also access members that are defined for these objects and members of IReposTypeInfo. For more information about accessing a member of an interface that is not the default interface, see Accessing Automation Object Members.
When to Use
Use the ParameterDef object to create parameters for a method definition object that you define.
