What is a TypeInfo.dat file in Test Complete

I have a NameMapping/TypeInfo.dat under NameMapping when I try to check in the code

 

What information does this file has?

 

Thanks in Advance

    Hi testbuilder , mboyce 

    The TypeInfo file contains info on properties and methods of objects added to NameMapping. What is stored there in determined by the following setting - Name Mapping > Options > Stop object data

     

    This is needed so that when you are writing a script and the mapped object you are working with is missing from the system, Code Completion will still show available methods and properties for this object.

     

    I've also made a request for our Documentation team to add this info to TestComplete documentation.
