DefineType(String, TypeAttributes, Type, PackingSize, Int32)

Constructs a TypeBuilder given the type name, attributes, the type that the defined type extends, the packing size of the defined type, and the total size of the defined type.

DefineType(String, TypeAttributes, Type, PackingSize)

Constructs a TypeBuilder given the type name, the attributes, the type that the defined type extends, and the packing size of the type.

DefineType(String, TypeAttributes)

Constructs a TypeBuilder given the type name and the type attributes.

DefineType(String, TypeAttributes, Type)

Constructs a TypeBuilder given type name, its attributes, and the type that the defined type extends.

DefineType(String, TypeAttributes, Type, Int32)

Constructs a TypeBuilder given the type name, the attributes, the type that the defined type extends, and the total size of the type.

Examples

The following example creates a TypeBuilder in the current dynamic module using CreateType, builds and completes the type, and saves the assembly.

AssemblyName^ asmname = gcnew 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.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" );
Dim asmname As New AssemblyName()
asmname.Name = "assemfilename.exe"

Dim typebuild1 As TypeBuilder = modbuild.DefineType("typename")
typebuild1.CreateType()
asmbuild.Save("assemfilename.exe")

Remarks

Type names must be unique within an assembly. You cannot have two types with the same name in two different modules of an assembly.
