enum System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet

Assembly: System.Runtime

Dictates which character set marshaled strings should use.

Values

None

This value is obsolete and has the same behavior as <see cref="F:System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Ansi" /> .

Ansi

Marshal strings as multiple-byte character strings: the system default Windows (ANSI) code page on Windows, and UTF-8 on Unix.

Unicode

Marshal strings as Unicode 2-byte character strings.

Auto

Automatically marshal strings appropriately for the target operating system. See Charsets and marshaling for details. Although the common language runtime default is <see cref="F:System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Auto" /> , languages may override this default. For example, by default C# and Visual Basic mark all methods and types as <see cref="F:System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Ansi" /> .
