Re: [DOTNET] How to marshal WChar[256] in COM interop?

[Ed Stegman]

You may also want to type the dwMask, dwModeFlags, and crBkgnd members of your struct 
as uint, as the native Win32 struct has them
as DWORD and COLORREF, which are unsigned types.

Here's a handy little table:

Yeap; I didn't see the UnmanagedType.ByValTStr which is better than
UnmanagedType.ByValArray in case of strings;
