Compiler Error C3270

'field': the FieldOffset attribute can only be used in the context of StructLayout(Explicit), in which case it is required

Remarks

A field was marked with FieldOffset, which is only allowed when StructLayout(Explicit) is in effect.

Example

The following example generates C3270:

// C3270_2.cpp
// compile with: /clr /c
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;

[ StructLayout(LayoutKind::Sequential) ]
// try the following line instead
// [ StructLayout(LayoutKind::Explicit) ]
public value struct MYUNION
{
   [FieldOffset(0)] int a;   // C3270
   // ...
};
