ICorDebugType::GetStaticFieldValue Method

Gets an interface pointer to an ICorDebugValue object that contains the value of the static field referenced by the specified field token in the specified stack frame.

Syntax

HRESULT GetStaticFieldValue (  
    [in]  mdFieldDef        fieldDef,  
    [in]  ICorDebugFrame    *pFrame,  
    [out] ICorDebugValue    **ppValue  
);  

Parameters

fieldDef
[in] An mdFieldDef token that specifies the static field.

pFrame
[in] A pointer to an ICorDebugFrame that represents the stack frame.

ppValue
[out] A pointer to the address of an ICorDebugValue that contains the value of the static field.

Remarks

The GetStaticFieldValue method may be used only if the type is ELEMENT_TYPE_CLASS or ELEMENT_TYPE_VALUETYPE, as indicated by the ICorDebugType::GetType method.

For non-generic types, the operation performed by GetStaticFieldValue is identical to calling ICorDebugClass::GetStaticFieldValue on the ICorDebugClass object that is returned by ICorDebugType::GetClass.

For generic types, a static field value will be relative to a particular instantiation. Also, if the static field could possibly be relative to a thread, a context, or an application domain, then the stack frame will help the debugger determine the proper value.

GetStaticFieldValue can be used only when a call to ICorDebugType::GetType returns a value of ELEMENT_TYPE_CLASS or ELEMENT_TYPE_VALUETYPE.
