AssemblyBuilder.Save Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly:
mscorlib.dll

Saves this dynamic assembly to disk.

Overloads

Save(String)

Saves this dynamic assembly to disk.
Save(String, PortableExecutableKinds, ImageFileMachine)

Saves this dynamic assembly to disk, specifying the nature of code in the assembly's executables and the target platform.

Save(String)

Source:
AssemblyBuilder.cs

Saves this dynamic assembly to disk.

public:
 void Save(System::String ^ assemblyFileName);
public void Save (string assemblyFileName);
member this.Save : string -> unit
Public Sub Save (assemblyFileName As String)

Parameters

assemblyFileName
String

The file name of the assembly.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The length of assemblyFileName is 0.

-or-

There are two or more modules resource files in the assembly with the same name.

-or-

The target directory of the assembly is invalid.

-or-

assemblyFileName is not a simple file name (for example, has a directory or drive component), or more than one unmanaged resource, including a version information resource, was defined in this assembly.

-or-

The CultureInfo string in AssemblyCultureAttribute is not a valid string and DefineVersionInfoResource(String, String, String, String, String) was called prior to calling this method.

ArgumentNullException

assemblyFileName is null.

InvalidOperationException

This assembly has been saved before.

-or-

This assembly has access RunAssemblyBuilderAccess

IOException

An output error occurs during the save.

NotSupportedException

CreateType() has not been called for any of the types in the modules of the assembly to be written to disk.

Examples

The following code sample creates a dynamic assembly and then persists it to a local disk using Save.

Remarks

Note

Saving a dynamic assembly to disk is only supported in .NET Framework.

This method saves all non-transient dynamic modules defined in this dynamic assembly. Transient dynamic modules are not saved. The assembly file name can be the same as the name of one of the modules. If so, the assembly manifest is stored within that module. assemblyFileName can be different from the names of all of the modules contained within the assembly. If so, the assembly file contains only the assembly manifest.

For each ResourceWriter obtained using DefineResource, this method writes the .resources file and calls Close to close the stream.

The assemblyFileName needs to be a simple file name without a drive or directory component. To create an assembly in a specific directory, use one of the DefineDynamicAssembly methods that takes a target directory argument.

In the .NET Framework version 2.0, this overload of the Save method is equivalent to calling the Save(String, PortableExecutableKinds, ImageFileMachine) method overload with ILOnly for the portableExecutableKind parameter and I386 for the imageFileMachine parameter.

Applies to

Save(String, PortableExecutableKinds, ImageFileMachine)

Saves this dynamic assembly to disk, specifying the nature of code in the assembly's executables and the target platform.

public:
 void Save(System::String ^ assemblyFileName, System::Reflection::PortableExecutableKinds portableExecutableKind, System::Reflection::ImageFileMachine imageFileMachine);
public void Save (string assemblyFileName, System.Reflection.PortableExecutableKinds portableExecutableKind, System.Reflection.ImageFileMachine imageFileMachine);
member this.Save : string * System.Reflection.PortableExecutableKinds * System.Reflection.ImageFileMachine -> unit
Public Sub Save (assemblyFileName As String, portableExecutableKind As PortableExecutableKinds, imageFileMachine As ImageFileMachine)

Parameters

assemblyFileName
String

The file name of the assembly.

portableExecutableKind
PortableExecutableKinds

A bitwise combination of the PortableExecutableKinds values that specifies the nature of the code.

imageFileMachine
ImageFileMachine

One of the ImageFileMachine values that specifies the target platform.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The length of assemblyFileName is 0.

-or-

There are two or more modules resource files in the assembly with the same name.

-or-

The target directory of the assembly is invalid.

-or-

assemblyFileName is not a simple file name (for example, has a directory or drive component), or more than one unmanaged resource, including a version information resources, was defined in this assembly.

-or-

The CultureInfo string in AssemblyCultureAttribute is not a valid string and DefineVersionInfoResource(String, String, String, String, String) was called prior to calling this method.

ArgumentNullException

assemblyFileName is null.

InvalidOperationException

This assembly has been saved before.

-or-

This assembly has access RunAssemblyBuilderAccess

IOException

An output error occurs during the save.

NotSupportedException

CreateType() has not been called for any of the types in the modules of the assembly to be written to disk.

Remarks

Note

Saving a dynamic assembly to disk is only supported in .NET Framework.

If imageFileMachine and portableExecutableKind are incompatible, imageFileMachine takes precedence over portableExecutableKind. No exception is thrown. For example, if you specify ImageFileMachine.I386 with PortableExecutableKinds.PE32Plus, PortableExecutableKinds.PE32Plus is ignored.

This method saves all non-transient dynamic modules defined in this dynamic assembly. Transient dynamic modules are not saved. The assembly file name can be the same as the name of one of the module. If so, the assembly manifest is stored within that module. assemblyFileName can be different from the names of all of the modules contained within the assembly.
