EventAttributes Enumeration

 

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)

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

Member nameDescription
None

Specifies that the event has no attributes.

ReservedMask

Specifies a reserved flag for common language runtime use only.

RTSpecialName

Specifies that the common language runtime should check name encoding.

SpecialName

Specifies that the event is special in a way described by the name.

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.

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.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Reflection::Emit;

ref class MyApplication
{
private:
   delegate void MyEvent( Object^ temp );

public:

   // Create the callee transient dynamic assembly.
   static TypeBuilder^ CreateCallee( AppDomain^ myDomain )
   {
      AssemblyName^ assemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName;
      assemblyName->Name = "EmittedAssembly";

      // Create the callee dynamic assembly.
      AssemblyBuilder^ myAssembly = myDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly( assemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::Run );

      // Create a dynamic module
      ModuleBuilder^ myModule = myAssembly->DefineDynamicModule( "EmittedModule" );

      // Define a public class named "HelloWorld" in the assembly.
      TypeBuilder^ helloWorldClass = myModule->DefineType( "HelloWorld", TypeAttributes::Public );
      array<Type^>^typeArray = gcnew array<Type^>(1);
      typeArray[ 0 ] = Object::typeid;
      MethodBuilder^ myMethod1 = helloWorldClass->DefineMethod( "OnClick", MethodAttributes::Public, void::typeid, typeArray );
      ILGenerator^ methodIL1 = myMethod1->GetILGenerator();
      methodIL1->Emit( OpCodes::Ret );
      MethodBuilder^ myMethod2 = helloWorldClass->DefineMethod( "OnMouseUp", MethodAttributes::Public, void::typeid, typeArray );
      ILGenerator^ methodIL2 = myMethod2->GetILGenerator();
      methodIL2->Emit( OpCodes::Ret );

      // Create the events.
      EventBuilder^ myEvent1 = helloWorldClass->DefineEvent( "Click", EventAttributes::None, MyEvent::typeid );
      myEvent1->SetRaiseMethod( myMethod1 );
      EventBuilder^ myEvent2 = helloWorldClass->DefineEvent( "MouseUp", EventAttributes::None, MyEvent::typeid );
      myEvent2->SetRaiseMethod( myMethod2 );
      helloWorldClass->CreateType();
      return (helloWorldClass);
   }
};

int main()
{
   TypeBuilder^ helloWorldClass = MyApplication::CreateCallee( Thread::GetDomain() );
   array<EventInfo^>^info = helloWorldClass->GetEvents( static_cast<BindingFlags>(BindingFlags::Public | BindingFlags::Instance) );
   Console::WriteLine( "'HelloWorld' type has following events :" );
   for ( int i = 0; i < info->Length; i++ )
      Console::WriteLine( info[ i ]->Name );
   return 0;
}
