The PropVariant type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	PropVariant	Initializes a new instance of the PropVariant class.
	PropVariant(Object)	Initializes a new instance of the PropVariant class with a value.

Properties

	Name	Description
	SizeOfVariant	Gets the native size of a VARIANT.
	Value	Gets the value.
	ValueAsPropertyStore	Gets or sets the value as a memory property store.
	VarType	Gets or sets the PropVariant type. Use the setter with caution, it's used for rare cases, for example if you want to force VT_BLOB instead of VT_UI1 \| VT_VECTOR.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Deserialize(Byte, Boolean)	Deserializes a PropVariant from the specified bytes.
	Deserialize(IntPtr, Int32, Boolean)	Deserializes a PropVariant from the specified buffer.
	Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
	Finalize	Finalizes an instance of the PropVariant class. (Overrides ObjectFinalize.)
	GetObjectForNative	Converts a COM PROPVARIANT to an object.
	Serialize	Serializes this instance into an array of bytes.
	Serialize(Int32)	Serializes this instance in a buffer that is allocated for this matter.
	ToBSTR	Creates a VT_BSTR PropVariant, as the default constructor used with a string creates a VT_LPWSTR PropVariant.
	ToLPSTR	Creates a VT_LPSTR PropVariant, as the default constructor used with a string creates a VT_LPWSTR PropVariant.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents this instance. (Overrides ObjectToString.)

Fields
