Data types for .NET

XMS .NET supports System.Boolean, System.Byte, System.SByte, System.Char, System.String, System.Single, System.Double, System.Decimal, System.Int16, System.Int32, System.Int64, System.UInt16, System.UInt32, System.UInt64, and System.Object. Data types for XMS .NET are different from data types for XMS C++. You can use this section to identify the corresponding data types.

The following table shows the corresponding XMS .NET and XMS C++ data types and briefly describes them.
