Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns the name of this enum.

Namespace:  System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Name As String
public override string Name { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
Read-only. The name of this enum.

Examples

The following code sample demonstrates the use of the Name property to reference the name of the current EnumBuilder.

Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Reflection.Emit

Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      ' Get the current application domain.
      Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain

      ' Create a dynamic assembly in the current application domain, 
      ' and allow it to be executed.
      Dim aName As AssemblyName = New AssemblyName("TempAssembly")
      Dim ab As AssemblyBuilder = currentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( _
          aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run)

      ' Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly. The module can
      ' have the same name as the assembly.
      Dim mb As ModuleBuilder = _
          ab.DefineDynamicModule(aName.Name)

      ' Define a public enumeration with the name "Elevation" and an 
      ' underlying type of Integer.
      Dim eb As EnumBuilder = _
          mb.DefineEnum("Elevation", TypeAttributes.Public, GetType(Integer))

      ' Define two members, "High" and "Low".
      eb.DefineLiteral("Low", 0)
      eb.DefineLiteral("High", 1)

      ' Create the type.
      Dim finished As Type = eb.CreateType()

      For Each fi As FieldInfo in finished.GetFields()
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0}.{1} = {2}" & vbCrLf, _
            finished.Name, fi.Name, fi.GetRawConstantValue())
