StructLayoutAttribute::CharSet Field

 

Indicates whether string data fields within the class should be marshaled as LPWSTR or LPSTR by default.

Namespace:   System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
CharSet CharSet

If the CharSet field is set to CharSet::Unicode, all string arguments are converted to Unicode characters (LPWSTR) before they are passed to the unmanaged implementation. If the field is set to CharSet::Ansi, the strings are converted to ANSI strings (LPSTR). If the CharSet field is set to CharSet::Auto, the conversion is platform-dependent (ANSI on Windows 98 and Windows Me, and Unicode on later versions).
