System.Reflection.PortableExecutableKinds Enumeration

Identifies the nature of the code in an executable file.

Syntax

[System.Flags]
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
public enum PortableExecutableKinds

Remarks

To obtain this value for a module, use the Module.GetPEKind(PortableExecutableKinds@, ImageFileMachine@) method.

Note:

This enumeration corresponds to the CorPEKind enumeration in the unmanaged reflection API, which is accessed by the unmanaged GetPEKind function.
