EventAttributes Enumeration

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Specifies the attributes of an event.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

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

Syntax

C++

Copy

[SerializableAttribute]
[FlagsAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public enum EventAttributes

Members

	Member name	Description
	None	Specifies that the event has no attributes.
	SpecialName	Specifies that the event is special in a way described by the name.
	ReservedMask	Specifies a reserved flag for common language runtime use only.
	RTSpecialName	Specifies that the common language runtime should check name encoding.

Remarks

EventAttributes values may be combined using the bitwise OR operation to get the appropriate combination.

These enums are defined in the corhdr.h file and are a combination of bits and enumerators.

Examples

The following example uses reflection emit to create a type with two events. It uses EventAttributes.None to specify that the events have no attributes.

C++

Copy


using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;


public class MyApplication
{
   public delegate void MyEvent(Object temp);
   public static void Main()
   {
      TypeBuilder helloWorldClass = CreateCallee(Thread.GetDomain());

      EventInfo[] info =
         helloWorldClass.GetEvents(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
      Console.WriteLine("'HelloWorld' type has following events :");
      for(int i=0; i < info.Length; i++)
         Console.WriteLine(info[i].Name);
   }

   // Create the callee transient dynamic assembly.
   private static TypeBuilder CreateCallee(AppDomain myDomain)
   {
      AssemblyName assemblyName = new AssemblyName();
      assemblyName.Name = "EmittedAssembly";

      // Create the callee dynamic assembly.
      AssemblyBuilder myAssembly =
         myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(assemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run);
      // Create a dynamic module named "CalleeModule" in the callee.
      ModuleBuilder myModule = myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule("EmittedModule");

      // Define a public class named "HelloWorld" in the assembly.
      TypeBuilder helloWorldClass =
         myModule.DefineType("HelloWorld", TypeAttributes.Public);

      MethodBuilder myMethod1 = helloWorldClass.DefineMethod("OnClick",
         MethodAttributes.Public, typeof(void), new Type[]{typeof(Object)});
      ILGenerator methodIL1 = myMethod1.GetILGenerator();
      methodIL1.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);
      MethodBuilder myMethod2 = helloWorldClass.DefineMethod("OnMouseUp",
         MethodAttributes.Public, typeof(void), new Type[]{typeof(Object)});
      ILGenerator methodIL2 = myMethod2.GetILGenerator();
      methodIL2.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

      // Create the events.
      EventBuilder myEvent1 = helloWorldClass.DefineEvent("Click", EventAttributes.None,
         typeof(MyEvent));
      myEvent1.SetRaiseMethod(myMethod1);
      EventBuilder myEvent2 = helloWorldClass.DefineEvent("MouseUp", EventAttributes.None,
         typeof(MyEvent));
      myEvent2.SetRaiseMethod(myMethod2);

      helloWorldClass.CreateType();
      return(helloWorldClass);
   }
}
