System.Reflection.Emit Namespace
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
The System.Reflection.Emit namespace contains classes that allow a compiler or tool to emit metadata and Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL). The primary clients of these classes are script engines and compilers.
| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CustomAttributeBuilder | Represents a custom attribute in a form that can be attached to a type or member that is being emitted. |
![]() | DynamicMethod | Defines and represents a dynamic method that can be compiled, executed, and discarded. Discarded methods are available for garbage collection. |
![]() | ILGenerator | Generates Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions. |
![]() | LocalBuilder | Represents a local variable within a method or constructor. |
![]() | 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. |
![]() | SignatureHelper | Provides methods for building signatures. |
| Structure | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Label | Represents a label in the instruction stream. Label is used in conjunction with the ILGenerator class. |
![]() | OpCode | Describes a Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction. |
| Enumeration | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | 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. |
![]() | StackBehaviour | Describes how values are pushed onto a stack or popped off a stack. |
