System.Reflection.Emit Namespace

  • Reference

Contains classes that allow a compiler or tool to emit metadata and Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and optionally generate a PE file on disk. The primary clients of these classes are script engines and compilers.

Classes

AssemblyBuilder

Defines and represents a dynamic assembly.
ConstructorBuilder

Defines and represents a constructor of a dynamic class.
CustomAttributeBuilder

Helps build custom attributes.
DynamicILInfo

Provides support for alternative ways to generate the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and metadata for a dynamic method, including methods for creating tokens and for inserting the code, exception handling, and local variable signature blobs.
DynamicMethod

Defines and represents a dynamic method that can be compiled, executed, and discarded. Discarded methods are available for garbage collection.
EnumBuilder

Describes and represents an enumeration type.
EventBuilder

Defines events for a class.
FieldBuilder

Defines and represents a field. This class cannot be inherited.
GenericTypeParameterBuilder

Defines and creates generic type parameters for dynamically defined generic types and methods. This class cannot be inherited.
ILGenerator

Generates Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions.
LocalBuilder

Represents a local variable within a method or constructor.
MethodBuilder

Defines and represents a method (or constructor) on a dynamic class.
MethodRental

Provides a fast way to swap method body implementation given a method of a class.
ModuleBuilder

Defines and represents a module in a dynamic assembly.
OpCodes

Provides field representations of the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) instructions for emission by the ILGenerator class members (such as Emit(OpCode)).
ParameterBuilder

Creates or associates parameter information.
PersistedAssemblyBuilder
PropertyBuilder

Defines the properties for a type.
SignatureHelper

Provides methods for building signatures.
TypeBuilder

Defines and creates new instances of classes during run time.
UnmanagedMarshal

Represents the class that describes how to marshal a field from managed to unmanaged code. This class cannot be inherited.

Structs

EventToken

Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent an event.
ExceptionHandler

Represents an exception handler in a byte array of IL to be passed to a method such as SetMethodBody(Byte[], Int32, Byte[], IEnumerable<ExceptionHandler>, IEnumerable<Int32>).
FieldToken

The FieldToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a field.
Label

Represents a label in the instruction stream. Label is used in conjunction with the ILGenerator class.
MethodToken

The MethodToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a method.
OpCode

Describes an intermediate language (IL) instruction.
ParameterToken

The ParameterToken struct is an opaque representation of the token returned by the metadata to represent a parameter.
PropertyToken

The PropertyToken struct is an opaque representation of the Token returned by the metadata to represent a property.
SignatureToken

Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a signature.
StringToken

Represents a token that represents a string.
TypeToken

Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a type.

Enums

AssemblyBuilderAccess

Defines the access modes for a dynamic assembly.
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.
PEFileKinds

Specifies the type of the portable executable (PE) file.
StackBehaviour

Describes how values are pushed onto a stack or popped off a stack.
