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.
