genericContext: TGenericContext

The context that was passed to the signature decoder.

handle: TypeSpecificationHandle

The type specification handle.

rawTypeKind: Byte

The kind of the type, as specified in the signature. To interpret this value, use ResolveSignatureTypeKind(MetadataReader, EntityHandle, Byte).
