Name
LayoutKind
Synopsis
This enumeration is used to specify how objects are laid out when they
are passed to unmanaged code. Auto
specifies
that .NET should choose the best method to lay out the objects. Explicit
gives you complete control over how the
object’s data members are laid out. You must use FieldOffsetAttribute
with each member if you specify Explicit
. Sequential
lays out the object’s members one
after the other, in the same order that they are defined in the
class definition.
