Compiler Error CS0625

'field': instance field types marked with StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit) must have a FieldOffset attribute.

When a struct is marked with an explicit StructLayout attribute, all fields in the struct must have the FieldOffset attribute. For more information, see StructLayoutAttribute Class.

The following sample generates CS0625:

// CS0625.cs  
// compile with: /target:library  
using System;  
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;  
  
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]  
struct A  
{  
   public int i;   // CS0625 not static; an instance field  
}  
  
// OK  
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]  
struct B  
{  
   [FieldOffset(5)]  
   public int i;  
}
