Member nameDescription
NotAPortableExecutableImageThe file is not in portable executable (PE) file format.
ILOnlyThe executable contains only Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL), and is therefore neutral with respect to 32-bit or 64-bit platforms.
Required32BitThe executable can be run on a 32-bit platform, or in the 32-bit Windows on Windows (WOW) environment on a 64-bit platform.
PE32PlusThe executable requires a 64-bit platform.
Unmanaged32BitThe executable contains pure unmanaged code.

To obtain this value for a module, use the Module.GetPEKind method.

NoteNote:

This enumeration corresponds to the CorPEKind enumeration in the unmanaged reflection API, which is accessed by the unmanaged GetPEKind function.
