Accessing NodeNames in event descriptors using C#

[snoho]

I’m trying to update an input event testing app I have to make use of some of the apparently new capabilities in the 2024 SDK. According to the documentation the SIMCONNECT_INPUT_EVENT_DESCRIPTOR struct should now have a NodeNames property in it. I’m very interested in seeing what that contains.

I’ve pointed my C# app to the 2024 version of the Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect.dll but Visual Studio tells me the type definition for that struct only contains Name and Hash, just like in 2020.

Am I missing something? Or is the managed DLL not updated to have the new struct property?

It’s a bug in the docs, there’s no such member.
