System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshalling Namespace

Contains support types for source-generated interop, such as MarshalUsingAttribute.

Classes

AnsiStringMarshaller

Marshaller for ANSI strings.

ArrayMarshaller<T,TUnmanagedElement>

Represents a marshaller for arrays.

BStrStringMarshaller

Marshaller for BSTR strings.

ComExposedClassAttribute<T>

Indicates that a type's instances should be exposed to COM.

ComInterfaceMarshaller<T>

Marshals a COM interface using a StrategyBasedComWrappers instance.

ComObject

Base class for all COM source-generated runtime callable wrappers (RCWs).

ComVariantMarshaller
ContiguousCollectionMarshallerAttribute

Specifies that this marshaller entry-point type is a contiguous collection marshaller.

CustomMarshallerAttribute

Indicates an entry point type for defining a marshaller.

ExceptionAsDefaultMarshaller<T>

Converts the exception to the default value of the specified unmanaged type.

ExceptionAsHResultMarshaller<T>

Marshals an exception object to the value of its HResult converted to T.

ExceptionAsNaNMarshaller<T>

Converts all exceptions to NaN.

ExceptionAsVoidMarshaller

Represents a marshaller that swallows exceptions.

GeneratedComClassAttribute

Specifies that the attributed type will be exposed to COM through source-generated COM and that the source generator should generate code for it.

GeneratedComInterfaceAttribute

Specifies that the attributed type is a COM interface and that the source generator should generate code for it.

IUnknownDerivedAttribute<T,TImpl>

Indicates that an interface is a managed representation of an IUnknown-derived interface.

MarshalUsingAttribute

Attribute used to provide a custom marshaller type or size information for marshalling.

NativeMarshallingAttribute

Attribute used to provide a default custom marshaller type for a given managed type.

PointerArrayMarshaller<T,TUnmanagedElement>

Represents a marshaller for an array of pointers.

ReadOnlySpanMarshaller<T,TUnmanagedElement>.UnmanagedToManagedOut

Supports marshalling from managed into unmanaged in a call from unmanaged code to managed code.

ReadOnlySpanMarshaller<T,TUnmanagedElement>

Supports marshalling a ReadOnlySpan<T> from managed value to a contiguous native array of the unmanaged values of the elements.

SafeHandleMarshaller<T>

Marshals SafeHandle-derived types following the lifetime rules for SafeHandle objects.

SpanMarshaller<T,TUnmanagedElement>

Supports marshalling a Span<T> from managed value to a contiguous native array of the unmanaged values of the elements.

StrategyBasedComWrappers

A ComWrappers-based type that uses customizable strategy objects to implement COM object wrappers and managed object wrappers exposed to COM.

UniqueComInterfaceMarshaller<T>

Marshals COM interfaces using a StrategyBasedComWrappers instance that only creates unique native object wrappers (RCWs).

Utf16StringMarshaller

A marshaller for UTF-16 strings.

Utf8StringMarshaller

A marshaller for UTF-8 strings.
