Is there any practical use of "Void" structure in .NET

Question

Just of a curiosity, is there any practical use of "Void" struct

except in Reflection ?

Answer 1

Well documentation says,

The Void structure is used in the System.Reflection namespace, but is rarely useful in a typical application. The Void structure has no members other than the ones all types inherit from the Object class.

So I doubt it.

Answer 2

I think, but I'm not sure, that this struct is used by the compiler to generate il for functions with void return type

Answer 3

System.Void is the equivalent of the void keyword. Check the tool tip of void and it will display

struct System.Void

But it can't be used directly in C#, so you best ignore it.

Trying to use System.Void will generate a compilation error

error CS0673: System.Void cannot be used from C# -- use typeof(void) to get the void type object

So then, it will fall to the topic of reflection only.
