Fields
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NotAPortableExecutableImage | 0 | The file is not in portable executable (PE) file format. |
| ILOnly | 1 | The executable contains only Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL), and is therefore neutral with respect to 32-bit or 64-bit platforms. |
| Required32Bit | 2 | The executable can be run on a 32-bit platform, or in the 32-bit Windows on Windows (WOW) environment on a 64-bit platform. |
| PE32Plus | 4 | The executable requires a 64-bit platform. |
| Unmanaged32Bit | 8 | The executable contains pure unmanaged code. |
| Preferred32Bit | 16 | The executable is platform-agnostic but should be run on a 32-bit platform whenever possible. |
Remarks
To obtain this value for a module, use the Module.GetPEKind method.
Note
This enumeration corresponds to the CorPEKind enumeration in the unmanaged reflection API, which is accessed by the unmanaged GetPEKind function.
