ModuleBuilder::GetArrayMethodToken Method (Type^, String^, CallingConventions, Type^, array<Type^>^)

 

Returns the token for the named method on an array class.

Namespace:   System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
MethodToken GetArrayMethodToken(
	Type^ arrayClass,
	String^ methodName,
	CallingConventions callingConvention,
	Type^ returnType,
	array<Type^>^ parameterTypes
)

Parameters

arrayClass
Type: System::Type^

The object for the array.

methodName
Type: System::String^

A string that contains the name of the method.

callingConvention
Type: System.Reflection::CallingConventions

The calling convention for the method.

returnType
Type: System::Type^

The return type of the method.

parameterTypes
Type: array<System::Type^>^

The types of the parameters of the method.

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection.Emit::MethodToken

The token for the named method on an array class.

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

arrayClass is not an array.

-or-

The length of methodName is zero.

ArgumentNullException

arrayClass or methodName is null.

This method is similar to GetArrayMethod, except that it returns the token of the array method instead of the method itself.

The following example demonstrates how to use GetArrayMethod to obtain the MethodToken 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();
