It means that the fields of the class should be laid out sequentially (i.e. in the order that they're declared) according to the 'pack' size.

This prevents the CLR from re-arranging the fields which it may do for efficiency reasons and which you certainly don't want when inter-operating with unmanaged code.

The equivalent in C++/CLI is:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind::Sequential, CharSet = CharSet::CharSet.Ansi)]
