Cool !

Could we force the field layout by:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
class HelloObj { ... }

Or does StructLayout only have effect only when the object is actually marshaled to the unmanaged code?

Hello,

sorry, but how can one really get the order in which FieldInfoS are returned by Type.GetFields(), as <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/kathykam/archive/2005/09/21/472566.aspx#474548">Jeroen Frijters</a> pointed? This is an interesting question and msdn keeps silent ...

Thank you

Hi Kathy,
Congrats on your new position. That was certainly a creative way to Hello the world.
By the way, since you just joined the team, the interview experience must be fresh in your mind. Can you blog about your PM interview experience in the CLR team?
Thanks
SN

Or even shorter:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
new List<FieldInfo>(typeof(HelloObj).GetFields())
.ConvertAll<string>(delegate(FieldInfo f) { return f.Name+" "; })
.ForEach(Console.Write);
}

Kathy, aren't you heared about new Lambda-style programming? Here is more modern way to do things ;-)

static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<FieldInfo> fields = new List<FieldInfo>(typeof(HelloObj).GetFields());

List<string> fieldNames = fields.ConvertAll<string>(
delegate(FieldInfo f) { return f.Name+" "; });

fieldNames.ForEach(Console.Write);
}

Hi Kathy,

you're welcome. The first question that came to my mind when I was looking at your program is why 'Kathy' field is an array? Is there any special meaning in this?

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious :)

Regards,
Dmitry

Hi Hugo,

Yeah, I was not following the Design Guidelines. My bad. I made "from" lower case so that it spells it out like a sentence correctly. Regarding "HelloObj"... old habits die hard.

Cheers,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
The geek world welcomes you.

BTW, do you really need the public fields ? And the lower case in "from".. hum.. And "HelloObj" ? It is an object already ? :) The FxCop team will ban this hello, no ?

Just kidding :)
