using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        DisplayLayoutAttribute(typeof(Example).StructLayoutAttribute);
        DisplayLayoutAttribute(typeof(Test2).StructLayoutAttribute);
    }

    private static void DisplayLayoutAttribute(StructLayoutAttribute sla)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\r\nCharSet: "+sla.CharSet.ToString()+"\r\n   Pack: "+sla.Pack.ToString()+"\r\n   Size: "+sla.Size.ToString()+"\r\n  Value: "+sla.Value.ToString());
    }
    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit, Pack=1)] public struct Test2
    {
        [FieldOffset(0)] public byte B1;
        [FieldOffset(1)] public short S;
        [FieldOffset(3)] public byte B2;
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
