EnumBuilder::SetCustomAttribute Method (ConstructorInfo^, array<Byte>^)

 

Sets a custom attribute using a specified custom attribute blob.

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

public:
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
void SetCustomAttribute(
	ConstructorInfo^ con,
	array<unsigned char>^ binaryAttribute
)

Parameters

con
Type: System.Reflection::ConstructorInfo^

The constructor for the custom attribute.

binaryAttribute
Type: array<System::Byte>^

A byte blob representing the attributes.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

con or binaryAttribute is null.

See the metadata specification in the ECMA Partition II documentation for details on how to format binaryAttribute. The documentation is available online; see ECMA C# and Common Language Infrastructure Standards on MSDN and Standard ECMA-335 - Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) on the Ecma International Web site.

The following code sample illustrates the use of SetCustomAttribute in the context of EnumBuilder, passing a byte blob.

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

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets::All,AllowMultiple=false)]
public ref class MyAttribute: public Attribute
{
public:
   bool myBoolValue;
   MyAttribute( bool myBool )
   {
      this->myBoolValue = myBool;
   }
};

ref class MyApplication
{
private:
   static EnumBuilder^ myEnumBuilder;

public:
   static void Main()
   {
      try
      {
         CreateCallee( Thread::GetDomain() );
         array<Object^>^myAttributesArray = myEnumBuilder->GetCustomAttributes( true );

         // Read the attributes and display them on the console.
         Console::WriteLine( "Custom attribute contains: " );
         for ( int index = 0; index < myAttributesArray->Length; index++ )
         {
            if ( dynamic_cast<MyAttribute^>(myAttributesArray[ index ]) )
            {
               Console::WriteLine( "myBoolValue: {0}", (dynamic_cast<MyAttribute^>(myAttributesArray[ index ]))->myBoolValue );
            }
         }
      }
      catch ( Exception^ e ) 
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "The following exception is raised:{0}", e->Message );
      }

   }

private:
   static void CreateCallee( AppDomain^ domain )
   {
      AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName;

      // Create a name for the assembly.
      myAssemblyName->Name = "EmittedAssembly";

      // Create the dynamic assembly.
      AssemblyBuilder^ myAssemblyBuilder = domain->DefineDynamicAssembly( myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::Run );
      Type^ myType = MyAttribute::typeid;
      array<Type^>^temp0 = {bool::typeid};
      ConstructorInfo^ myInfo = myType->GetConstructor( temp0 );

      // Create a dynamic module.
      ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder->DefineDynamicModule( "EmittedModule" );

      // Create a dynamic Enum.
      myEnumBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineEnum( "MyNamespace.MyEnum", TypeAttributes::Public, Int32::typeid );
      FieldBuilder^ myFieldBuilder1 = myEnumBuilder->DefineLiteral( "FieldOne", 1 );
      FieldBuilder^ myFieldBuilder2 = myEnumBuilder->DefineLiteral( "FieldTwo", 2 );
      myEnumBuilder->CreateType();
      array<Byte>^temp1 = {01,00,01};
      myEnumBuilder->SetCustomAttribute( myInfo, temp1 );
   }
};

{
   MyApplication::Main();
