Fields

Array 20

Represents a generalized Array in signatures.

Boolean 2

Represents a Boolean in signatures.

ByReference 16

Represents managed pointers (byref return values and parameters) in signatures. It is followed in the blob by the signature encoding of the underlying type.

Byte 5

Represents a Byte in signatures.

Char 3

Represents a Char in signatures.

Double 13

Represents a Double in signatures.

FunctionPointer 27

Represents function pointer types in signatures.

GenericMethodParameter 30

Represents a generic method parameter used within a signature.

GenericTypeInstance 21

Represents the instantiation of a generic type in signatures.

GenericTypeParameter 19

Represents a generic type parameter used within a signature.

Int16 6

Represents an Int16 in signatures.

Int32 8

Represents an Int32 in signatures.

Int64 10

Represents an Int64 in signatures.

IntPtr 24

Represents an IntPtr in signatures.

Invalid 0

Represents an invalid or uninitialized type code. It will not appear in valid signatures.

Object 28

Represents an Object in signatures.

OptionalModifier 32

Represents a custom modifier applied to a type within a signature that the caller can ignore.

Pinned 69

Represents a local variable that is pinned by garbage collector.

Pointer 15

Represents an unmanaged pointer in signatures. It is followed in the blob by the signature encoding of the underlying type.

RequiredModifier 31

Represents a custom modifier applied to a type within a signature that the caller must understand.

SByte 4

Represents an SByte in signatures.

Sentinel 65

Represents a marker to indicate the end of fixed arguments and the beginning of variable arguments.

Single 12

Represents a Single in signatures.

String 14

Represents a String in signatures.

SZArray 29

Represents a single dimensional Array with a lower bound of 0.

TypedReference 22

Represents a typed reference in signatures.

TypeHandle 64

Precedes a type EntityHandle in signatures. In raw metadata, this is encoded as either ELEMENT_TYPE_CLASS (0x12) for reference types or ELEMENT_TYPE_VALUETYPE (0x11) for value types. This is collapsed to a single code because Windows Runtime projections can project from class to value type or vice-versa, and the raw code is misleading in those cases.

UInt16 7

Represents a UInt16 in signatures.

UInt32 9

Represents a UInt32 in signatures.

UInt64 11

Represents a UInt64 in signatures.

UIntPtr 25

Represents a UIntPtr in signatures.

Void 1

Represents Void in signatures.
