Declaration

public readonly uint HeaderSize

Field Value

Type	Description
uint

LinkCLSID

LinkCLSID (16 bytes): A class identifier (CLSID). This value MUST be 00021401-0000-0000-C000-000000000046.

Declaration

public readonly Guid LinkCLSID

Field Value

Type	Description
Guid

Reserved1

A value that MUST be zero.

Properties

AccessTime

AccessTime (8 bytes): A FILETIME structure that specifies the access time of the link target in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). If the value is zero, there is no access time set on the link target.

Declaration

public long AccessTime { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
long

CreationTime

CreationTime (8 bytes): A FILETIME structure that specifies the creation time of the link target in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). If the value is zero, there is no creation time set on the link target.

Declaration

public long CreationTime { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
long

FileAttributes

FileAttributes (4 bytes): A FileAttributesFlags structure that specifies information about the link target.

Declaration

public FileAttributesFlags FileAttributes { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
FileAttributesFlags

FileSize

FileSize (4 bytes): A 32-bit unsigned integer that specifies the size, in bytes, of the link target. If the link target file is larger than 0xFFFFFFFF, this value specifies the least significant 32 bits of the link target file size.

Declaration

public uint FileSize { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
uint

HotKey

HotKey (2 bytes): A HotKeyFlags structure that specifies the keystrokes used to launch the application referenced by the shortcut key. This value is assigned to the application after it is launched, so that pressing the key activates that application.

Declaration

public HotKeyFlags HotKey { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
HotKeyFlags

IconIndex

IconIndex (4 bytes): A 32-bit signed integer that specifies the index of an icon within a given icon location.

Declaration

public int IconIndex { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int

LinkFlags

LinkFlags (4 bytes): A LinkFlags structure that specifies information about the shell link and the presence of optional portions of the structure.

Declaration

public virtual LinkFlags LinkFlags { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
LinkFlags

MinimumBlockSize

headerBlockSize (4 bytes): A 32-bit, unsigned integer that specifies the size of the ExtraDataBlock structure.

Declaration

public override uint MinimumBlockSize { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
uint

Overrides

Structure.MinimumBlockSize

ShowCommand

ShowCommand (4 bytes): A 32-bit unsigned integer that specifies the expected window state of an application launched by the link.

Declaration

public ShowCommand ShowCommand { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ShowCommand

WriteTime

WriteTime (8 bytes): A FILETIME structure that specifies the write time of the link target in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). If the value is zero, there is no write time set on the link target.

Declaration

public long WriteTime { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
long
