Examples

The following code sample illustrates the use of BeginScope and EndScope.

// Get the current AppDomain.

// Create a dynamic module 'myModule' in 'myAssembly'.

// Define a public class 'MyDynamicClass'.
TypeBuilder^ myTypeBuilder = myModule->DefineType( "MyDynamicClass", TypeAttributes::Public );

// Define a public string field.

Remarks

This method is used to emit symbolic information. It is used with BeginScope.

If the current ILGenerator is associated with a DynamicMethod object, it does not support symbolic information.
