Name
CallingConvention
Synopsis
This enumeration specifies the calling convention to use when you
invoke a function. DllImportAttribute uses this
in its CallingConvention
parameter.
Cdecl specifies the standard calling convention
used by C++ and C programs. This is required for functions that
take a variable number of arguments, such as
printf(). FastCall attempts
to put function arguments into registers.
StdCall is the convention used for calling Win32
API functions. ThisCall is the calling
convention used by C++ member functions taking fixed arguments. Use
the Winapi calling convention for
function calls that use PASCAL or
__far __pascal.
public enum CallingConvention { Winapi = 1, Cdecl = 2, StdCall = 3, ThisCall = 4, FastCall = 5 }
