System.Reflection.Emit Namespace
.NET Framework 1.1
The System.Reflection.Emit namespace contains classes that allow a compiler or tool to emit metadata and Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and optionally generate a PE file on disk. The primary clients of these classes are script engines and compilers.
Classes
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| AssemblyBuilder | Defines and represents a dynamic assembly. |
| ConstructorBuilder | Defines and represents a constructor of a dynamic class. |
| CustomAttributeBuilder | Helps build custom attributes. |
| EnumBuilder | Describes and represents an enumeration type. |
| EventBuilder | Defines events for a class. |
| FieldBuilder | Defines and represents a field. This class cannot be inherited. |
| ILGenerator | Generates Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions. |
| LocalBuilder | Represents a local variable within a method or constructor. |
| MethodBuilder | Defines and represents a method (or constructor) on a dynamic class. |
| MethodRental | Provides a fast way to swap method body implementation given a method of a class. |
| ModuleBuilder | Defines and represents a module. Get an instance of ModuleBuilder by calling DefineDynamicModule. |
| OpCodes | Provides field representations of the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) instructions for emission by the ILGenerator class members (such as Emit). |
| ParameterBuilder | Creates or associates parameter information. |
| PropertyBuilder | Defines the properties for a type. |
| SignatureHelper | Provides methods for building signatures. |
| TypeBuilder | Defines and creates new instances of classes during runtime. |
| UnmanagedMarshal | Represents the class that describes how to marshal a field from managed to unmanaged code. This class cannot be inherited. |
Structures
| Structure | Description |
|---|---|
| EventToken | Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent an event. |
| FieldToken | The FieldToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a field. |
| Label | Represents a label in the instruction stream. Label is used in conjunction with the ILGenerator class. |
| MethodToken | The MethodToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a method. |
| OpCode | Describes a Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction. |
| ParameterToken | The ParameterToken struct is an opaque representation of the token returned by the metadata to represent a parameter. |
| PropertyToken | The PropertyToken struct is an opaque representation of the Token returned by the metadata to represent a property. |
| SignatureToken | Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a signature. |
| StringToken | Represents a token that represents a string. |
| TypeToken | Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a type. |
Enumerations
| Enumeration | Description |
|---|---|
| AssemblyBuilderAccess | Defines the access modes for a dynamic assembly. |
| FlowControl | Describes how an instruction alters the flow of control. |
| OpCodeType | Describes the types of the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions. |
| OperandType | Describes the operand type of Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction. |
| PackingSize | Specifies one of two factors that determine the memory alignment of fields when a type is marshaled. |
| PEFileKinds | Specifies the type of the portable executable (PE) file. |
| StackBehaviour | Describes how values are pushed onto a stack or popped off a stack. |
