Well, basically every types ... Marshal.SizeOf returns the size of the equivalent unmanaged type. Another example would be boolean: Marshal returns 4 instead of 1. Just to restate my original problem clearly: I wanted to use Buffer.BlockCopy in a class with generic parameters and I could not use sizeof(T). I switched to Array.Copy instead, but I am still curious about how to find the size of a generic parameter.
