CallingConvention Enumeration
Silverlight
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Specifies the calling convention required to call methods implemented in unmanaged code.
Namespace: System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Winapi | This member is not actually a calling convention, but instead uses the default platform calling convention. For example, on Windows the default is StdCall and on Windows CE.NET it is Cdecl. |
![]() ![]() | Cdecl | The caller cleans the stack. This enables calling functions with varargs, which makes it appropriate to use for methods that accept a variable number of parameters, such as Printf. |
![]() ![]() | StdCall | The callee cleans the stack. This is the default convention for calling unmanaged functions with platform invoke. |
![]() ![]() | ThisCall | The first parameter is the this pointer and is stored in register ECX. Other parameters are pushed on the stack. This calling convention is used to call methods on classes exported from an unmanaged DLL. |
![]() ![]() | FastCall | This calling convention is not supported. |
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.
