User-Defined Field Types:

None.

Notes:

In C# You must remember about alignment!

So,

You can use `Pack': [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack=4)]

Or, as is in VB example, use:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]

with [FieldOffset()] for every field of structure.

This is, I think, better way.

Otherwise, You can get strange values in fields after GetFileInformationByHandle - in Win/64
