Remarks

Since the ForceInitialize method is static, you can call in from any appropriate context.

XpoTypesInfoHelper.ForceInitialize();

VB.NET

XpoTypesInfoHelper.ForceInitialize()

The XpoTypesInfoHelper.GetXpoTypeInfoSource calls the ForceInitialize method internally. So, there is no need to call ForceInitialize manually before using GetXpoTypeInfoSource.
