StructLayoutAttribute is not returned by the GetCustomAttributes method. Instead, use this property to get it.
The following code example first defines a class, a structure, and a structure with special layout attributes (the structures are nested within the class). The example then uses the StructLayoutAttribute property to obtain a StructLayoutAttribute for each type, and displays the properties of the attributes.
