How to pass a structure to CFComponent

This is how I am passing a string parameter to a component in ColdFusion 10:

    <cfset DeptObj = New CompEmp('#Trim(DeptId)#','#Trim(DeptSecId)#')>
    <cfset EmpStatus = DeptObj.GetEmp('NewHire')> ----> passing a string

My question is, how do I pass a ColdFusion structure to a function in a component instead of a string?

For example, if I have the following structure:

    <cfset str_MyBioInfo = {myFName="#GetBio.FName#", myLName="#GetBio.LName#", 
                            myBday="#GetBio.BDate#"}

And I want to pass str_MyBioInfo to a component, do I do it this way?

    <cfset BioObj = New BioInfo()>
    <cfset BioInfoDetail = BioObj.GetBio(str_MyBioInfo)> ----> ?

And in the <cffunction> I have MybioInfo structure as an argument like this:

   <cffunction name="GetBio">
     <cfargument name="str_MyBioInfo" type="Struct">  ---> ?       

   </cffunction>

I think you are looking for how to pass a collection of arguments to a function:

<cfset str_MyBioInfo = { FName="firstName"
                         , LName="LastName"
                         , BDate="YourdateOfBirth"
                       } />

<cfset BioObj  = createObject("component", "BioObj")>

<cfset BioInfoDetail = BioObj.GetBio(argumentCollection = str_MyBioInfo)>

<cffunction name="GetBio">
    <cfargument name="FName" type="String" required="true" >
    <cfargument name="LName" type="String" required="true" >
    <cfargument name="BDate" type="String" required="true" >


</cffunction>
