GetArrayMethod is useful when you have an array of a type whose definition has not been completed and you want to access methods defined on Array. For example, you might define a type and want to define a method that takes an array of the type as a parameter. In order to access the elements of the array, you will need to call methods of the Array class.
The following example demonstrates how to use GetArrayMethod to obtain the MethodInfo corresponding to a method that returns an array value.
// Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly. ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder-> DefineDynamicModule( "TempModule" ); // Define a runtime class with specified name and attributes. TypeBuilder^ myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineType( "TempClass", TypeAttributes::Public ); array<Type^>^ paramArray = { Array::typeid }; // Add 'SortArray' method to the class, with the given signature. MethodBuilder^ myMethod = myTypeBuilder->DefineMethod( "SortArray", MethodAttributes::Public, Array::typeid, paramArray ); array<Type^>^ myArrayClass = gcnew array<Type^>( 1 ); array<Type^>^ parameterTypes = { Array::typeid }; // Get the 'MethodInfo' object corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class. MethodInfo^ myMethodInfo = myModuleBuilder->GetArrayMethod( myArrayClass->GetType(), "Sort", CallingConventions::Standard, nullptr, parameterTypes ); // Get the token corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class. MethodToken myMethodToken = myModuleBuilder->GetArrayMethodToken( myArrayClass->GetType(), "Sort", CallingConventions::Standard, nullptr, parameterTypes ); Console::WriteLine( "Token used by module to identify the 'Sort' method" + " of 'Array' class is : {0:x} ", myMethodToken.Token ); ILGenerator^ methodIL = myMethod->GetILGenerator(); methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ldarg_1 ); methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Call, myMethodInfo ); methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ldarg_1 ); methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ret ); // Complete the creation of type. myTypeBuilder->CreateType();
