When used as the return type for a method, void specifies that the method doesn't return a value.

void isn't allowed in the parameter list of a method. A method that takes no parameters and returns no value is declared as follows:

public void SampleMethod()
{
    // Body of the method.
}

void is also used in an unsafe context to declare a pointer to an unknown type. For more information, see Pointer types.

void is an alias for the .NET Framework System.Void type.
