Fields

Invalid	0	Represents an invalid or uninitialized type code. It will not appear in valid signatures.
Void	1	Represents Void in signatures.
Boolean	2	Represents a Boolean in signatures.
Char	3	Represents a Char in signatures.
SByte	4	Represents an SByte in signatures.
Byte	5	Represents a Byte in signatures.
Int16	6	Represents an Int16 in signatures.
UInt16	7	Represents a UInt16 in signatures.
Int32	8	Represents an Int32 in signatures.
UInt32	9	Represents a UInt32 in signatures.
Int64	10	Represents an Int64 in signatures.
UInt64	11	Represents a UInt64 in signatures.
Single	12	Represents a Single in signatures.
Double	13	Represents a Double in signatures.
String	14	Represents a String in signatures.
Pointer	15	Represents an unmanaged pointer in signatures. It is followed in the blob by the signature encoding of the underlying type.
ByReference	16	Represents managed pointers (byref return values and parameters) in signatures. It is followed in the blob by the signature encoding of the underlying type.
GenericTypeParameter	19	Represents a generic type parameter used within a signature.
Array	20	Represents a generalized Array in signatures.
GenericTypeInstance	21	Represents the instantiation of a generic type in signatures.
TypedReference	22	Represents a typed reference in signatures.
IntPtr	24	Represents an IntPtr in signatures.
UIntPtr	25	Represents a UIntPtr in signatures.
FunctionPointer	27	Represents function pointer types in signatures.
Object	28	Represents an Object in signatures.
SZArray	29	Represents a single dimensional Array with a lower bound of 0.
GenericMethodParameter	30	Represents a generic method parameter used within a signature.
RequiredModifier	31	Represents a custom modifier applied to a type within a signature that the caller must understand.
OptionalModifier	32	Represents a custom modifier applied to a type within a signature that the caller can ignore.
TypeHandle	64	Precedes a type EntityHandle in signatures. In raw metadata, this is encoded as either ELEMENT_TYPE_CLASS (0x12) for reference types or ELEMENT_TYPE_VALUETYPE (0x11) for value types. This is collapsed to a single code because Windows Runtime projections can project from class to value type or vice-versa, and the raw code is misleading in those cases.
Sentinel	65	Represents a marker to indicate the end of fixed arguments and the beginning of variable arguments.
Pinned	69	Represents a local variable that is pinned by garbage collector.
