ModuleBuilder.DefineType Method (String, TypeAttributes, Type, PackingSize)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public TypeBuilder DefineType ( string name, TypeAttributes attr, Type parent, PackingSize packsize )
public TypeBuilder DefineType ( String name, TypeAttributes attr, Type parent, PackingSize packsize )
public function DefineType ( name : String, attr : TypeAttributes, parent : Type, packsize : PackingSize ) : TypeBuilder
Not applicable.
Parameters
- name
The full path of the type. name cannot contain embedded nulls.
- attr
The attributes of the defined type.
- parent
The Type that the defined type extends.
- packsize
The packing size of the type.
Return Value
Returns a TypeBuilder object.Type names must be unique within an assembly. You cannot have two types with the same name in two different modules of an assembly.

The following example creates a TypeBuilder in the current dynamic module using CreateType, builds and completes the type, and saves the assembly.
AssemblyName asmname = new AssemblyName(); asmname.Name = "assemfilename.exe"; AssemblyBuilder asmbuild = System.Threading.Thread.GetDomain(). DefineDynamicAssembly(asmname, AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave); ModuleBuilder modbuild = asmbuild.DefineDynamicModule( "modulename", "assemfilename.exe" ); TypeBuilder typebuild1 = modbuild.DefineType( "typename" ); typebuild1.CreateType(); asmbuild.Save( "assemfilename.exe" );
AssemblyName asmName = new AssemblyName();
asmName.set_Name("assemfilename.exe");
AssemblyBuilder asmBuild =
System.Threading.Thread.GetDomain().DefineDynamicAssembly
(asmName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave);
ModuleBuilder modBuild = asmBuild.DefineDynamicModule("modulename",
"assemfilename.exe");
TypeBuilder typeBuild1 = modBuild.DefineType("typename");
typeBuild1.CreateType();
asmBuild.Save("assemfilename.exe");
