Members

Member Description

pmNoMangle

Use each member name as specified.

pmCharSetMask

Reserved.

pmCharSetNotSpec

Reserved.

pmCharSetAnsi

Marshal strings as multiple-byte character strings.

pmCharSetUnicode

Marshal strings as Unicode 2-byte characters.

pmCharSetAuto

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.

pmBestFitUseAssem

Reserved.

pmBestFitEnabled

Perform best-fit mapping of Unicode characters that lack an exact match in the ANSI character set.

pmBestFitDisabled

Do not perform best-fit mapping of Unicode characters. In this case, all unmappable characters will be replaced by a ‘?’.

pmBestFitMask

Reserved.

pmThrowOnUnmappableCharUseAssem

Reserved.

pmThrowOnUnmappableCharEnabled

Throw an exception when the interop marshaler encounters an unmappable character.

pmThrowOnUnmappableCharDisabled

Do not throw an exception when the interop marshaler encounters an unmappable character.

pmThrowOnUnmappableCharMask

Reserved

pmSupportsLastError

Allow the callee to call the Win32 SetLastError function before returning from the attributed method.

pmCallConvMask

Reserved

pmCallConvWinapi

Use the default platform calling convention. For example, on Windows the default is StdCall and on Windows CE .NET it is Cdecl.

pmCallConvCdecl

Use the Cdecl calling convention. In this case, the caller cleans the stack. This enables calling functions with varargs (that is, functions that accept a variable number of parameters).

pmCallConvStdcall

Use the StdCall calling convention. In this case, the callee cleans the stack. This is the default convention for calling unmanaged functions with platform invoke.

pmCallConvThiscall

Use the ThisCall calling convention. In this case, the first parameter is the this pointer and is stored in register ECX. Other parameters are pushed on the stack. The ThisCall calling convention is used to call methods on classes exported from an unmanaged DLL.

pmCallConvFastcall

Reserved.

pmMaxValue

Reserved.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family
