Some structures have a their size as a first member to allow the Win32 API to support different versions of a struct (for example MONITORINFO vs MONITORINFOEX). In recent versions of C# it is possible to provide a parameterless default constructor, which should be used to initialize the cbSize member to the correct size. This will prevent many subtle bugs.

Examples of such structs are:

  • WINDOWINFO
  • MONITORINFO
  • MONITORINFOEX
