These notes cover 2 more generic fields and several simple types.  There is quite a bit here, but mostly it is just for reference, the generic types are very similar to the one in Example 3 and the simple types are really simple since the Element Type is what signifies the field's type.  I included them all for completeness only.

Example 4: Decoding a field signature of a generic type that is a struct (value type)

C# code:

private GenericValType<int> _genericValueType;

Field Information from ILDasm:

0x06 = IMAGE_CEE_CS_CALLCONV_FIELD

0x15 = ELEMENT_TYPE_GENERICINST

The definition for decoding a GENERICINST is: GENERICINST (CLASS | VALUETYPE) TypeDefOrRefEncoded GenArgCount Type Type*

0x11 = ELEMENT_TYPE_VALUETYPE

0x10 TypeDefOrRefEncoded token

0x10 is a compressed integer of 16 (0x10) - which is the same compressed or uncompressed

The TypeDefOrRefEncoded token is a TypeDef and a RID of  4, which is the record for SignatureUtility.GenericValueType`1 in the TypeDef table.

0x01 = GenArg Count (compressed/uncompressed value the same)

0x08 = ELEMENT_TYPE_I4 which is a .Net type of System.Int32 or int is C#

Example 5: Decoding a field signature of a generic type with 2 generic arguments

C# Code:

private Dictionary<int, string> _genericInstClass2Args;

Field Information from ILDasm:

0x06 = IMAGE_CEE_CS_CALLCONV_FIELD

0x15 = ELEMENT_TYPE_GENERICINST

The definition for decoding a GENERICINST is: GENERICINST (CLASS | VALUETYPE) TypeDefOrRefEncoded GenArgCount Type Type*

0x12 = ELEMENT_TYPE_CLASS

0x19 TypeDefOrRefEncoded Token

0x10 is a compressed integer of 25 (0x19) - which is the same compressed or uncompressed

The TypeDefOrRefEncoded token is a TypeRef and a RID of 6, which is the record System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2 record in the TypeRef table.

0x02 = GenArg Count (compressed/uncompressed value the same)

0x08 = ELEMENT_TYPE_I4 which is a .Net type of System.Int32 or int is C#

0x0e = ELEMENT_TYPE_STRING which is a .Net type of System.String or string in C#

Example 12: Decoding a field signature of a Int32 type

C# Code:

private Int32 _int32;

Field Information from ILDasm:

0x06 = IMAGE_CEE_CS_CALLCONV_FIELD

0x08 = ELEMENT_TYPE_I4 (System.Int32)

Next Notes will provide:

1. Decoding vectors (0 based, single dimensional arrays)
2. Decoding arrays

After arrays I think I'll go onto the next signature type instead of diving into the 6 remaining types of type that fields can be (various pointers and variants) ... I'll get back to these types after I get the managed scenarios working first.
