Namespace: System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| None | This value is obsolete and has the same behavior as CharSet.Ansi. | |
| Ansi | Marshal strings as multiple-byte character strings. | |
![]() ![]() | Unicode | Marshal strings as Unicode 2-byte characters. |
![]() ![]() | Auto | Automatically marshal strings appropriately for the target operating system. The default is Unicode on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and the Windows Server 2003 family; the default is Ansi on Windows 98 and Windows Me. Although the common language runtime default is Auto, languages may override this default. For example, by default C# marks all methods and types as Ansi. |
