SignatureHelper Class
Provides methods for building signatures.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The SignatureHelper type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AddArgument(Type) | Adds an argument to the signature. |
| AddArgument(Type, Boolean) | Adds an argument of the specified type to the signature, specifying whether the argument is pinned. |
| AddArgument(Type, Type[], Type[]) | Adds an argument to the signature, with the specified custom modifiers. |
| AddArguments | Adds a set of arguments to the signature, with the specified custom modifiers. |
| AddSentinel | Marks the end of a vararg fixed part. This is only used if the caller is creating a vararg signature call site. |
| Equals | Checks if this instance is equal to the given object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).) |
| GetFieldSigHelper | Returns a signature helper for a field. |
| GetHashCode | Creates and returns a hash code for this instance. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().) |
| GetLocalVarSigHelper() | Returns a signature helper for a local variable. |
| GetLocalVarSigHelper(Module) | Returns a signature helper for a local variable. |
| GetMethodSigHelper(CallingConvention, Type) | Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's unmanaged calling convention and return type. |
| GetMethodSigHelper(CallingConventions, Type) | Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's calling convention and return type. |
| GetMethodSigHelper(Module, CallingConventions, Type) | Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's module, calling convention, and return type. |
| GetMethodSigHelper(Module, CallingConvention, Type) | Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's module, unmanaged calling convention, and return type. |
| GetMethodSigHelper(Module, Type, Type[]) | Returns a signature helper for a method with a standard calling convention, given the method's module, return type, and argument types. |
| GetPropertySigHelper(Module, Type, Type[]) | Returns a signature helper for a property, given the dynamic module that contains the property, the property type, and the property arguments. |
| GetPropertySigHelper(Module, Type, Type[], Type[], Type[], Type[][], Type[][]) | Returns a signature helper for a property, given the dynamic module that contains the property, the property type, the property arguments, and custom modifiers for the return type and arguments. |
| GetPropertySigHelper(Module, CallingConventions, Type, Type[], Type[], Type[], Type[][], Type[][]) | Returns a signature helper for a property, given the dynamic module that contains the property, the calling convention, the property type, the property arguments, and custom modifiers for the return type and arguments. |
| GetSignature | Adds the end token to the signature and marks the signature as finished, so no further tokens can be added. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string representing the signature arguments. (Overrides Object.ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| _SignatureHelper.GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. |
| _SignatureHelper.GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can then be used to get the type information for an interface. |
| _SignatureHelper.GetTypeInfoCount | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). |
| _SignatureHelper.Invoke | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. |
Use the SignatureHelper class to create a signature blob that can be passed to the SetLocalSignature method of the DynamicILInfo class. A SignatureHelper object can also be passed to the ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, SignatureHelper) method overload to insert an instruction and a signature token into a Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) stream. For information on signature blobs and signature metadata, see the ECMA Partition II Metadata documentation.
