Blittable types are data types in software applications which have a unique characteristic. Data are often represented in memory differently in managed and unmanaged code in the Microsoft .NET framework. However, blittable types are defined as having an identical presentation in memory for both environments, and can be directly shared. Understanding the difference between blittable and non-blittable types can aid in using COM Interop or P/Invoke, two techniques for interoperability in .NET applications.

“Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
