Set a custom attribute using a custom attribute builder.

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

public:
void SetCustomAttribute(
	CustomAttributeBuilder^ customBuilder
)

Parameters

customBuilder
Type: System.Reflection.Emit::CustomAttributeBuilder^

An instance of a helper class to define the custom attribute.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

customBuilder is null.

The following code sample illustrates the use of SetCustomAttribute of the context of a ConstructorBuilder, passing a CustomAttributeBuilder.

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:
   String^ myString;
   int myInteger;
   MyAttribute( String^ myString, int myInteger )
   {
      this->myString = myString;
      this->myInteger = myInteger;
   }

};

static Type^ MyCreateCallee( AppDomain^ domain )
{
   AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName;
   myAssemblyName->Name = "EmittedAssembly";

   // Define a dynamic assembly in the current application domain->
   AssemblyBuilder^ myAssembly = domain->DefineDynamicAssembly( myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::Run );

   // Define a dynamic module in this assembly->
   ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = myAssembly->DefineDynamicModule( "EmittedModule" );

   // Construct a 'TypeBuilder' given the name and attributes.
   TypeBuilder^ myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineType( "HelloWorld", TypeAttributes::Public );

   // Define a constructor of the dynamic class.
   array<Type^>^type1 = {String::typeid};
   ConstructorBuilder^ myConstructor = myTypeBuilder->DefineConstructor( MethodAttributes::Public, CallingConventions::Standard, type1 );

   CustomAttributeBuilder^ attributeBuilder = gcnew CustomAttributeBuilder( myConstructorInfo,obj1 );
   try
   {
      myConstructor->SetCustomAttribute( attributeBuilder );
   }
   catch ( ArgumentNullException^ ex )

   Console::WriteLine( "MyAttribute custom attribute contains  " );
   for ( int index = 0; index < myAttributes1->Length; index++ )
   {
      if ( dynamic_cast<MyAttribute^>(myAttributes1[ index ]) )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "The value of myString is : {0}", (safe_cast<MyAttribute^>(myAttributes1[ index ]))->myString );
         Console::WriteLine( "The value of myInteger is : {0}", (safe_cast<MyAttribute^>(myAttributes1[ index ]))->myInteger );
