Reference

Definition

Namespace:: System.Reflection.Emit

Assembly:: mscorlib.dll

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Creates the body of the method using a supplied byte array of Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions.

public:
 void CreateMethodBody(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ il, int count);

public void CreateMethodBody (byte[] il, int count);

member this.CreateMethodBody : byte[] * int -> unit

Public Sub CreateMethodBody (il As Byte(), count As Integer)

Parameters

il: Byte[]

An array containing valid MSIL instructions. If this parameter is null, the method's body is cleared.

count: Int32

The number of valid bytes in the MSIL array. This value is ignored if MSIL is null.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The count is not within the range of indexes of the supplied MSIL instruction array and il is not null.

InvalidOperationException

The containing type was previously created using CreateType().

-or-

This method was called previously on this MethodBuilder with an il argument that was not null.

-or-

For the current method, the IsGenericMethod property is true, but the IsGenericMethodDefinition property is false.

Examples

In the example provided below, a simple method that adds two integers is generated via opcode using CreateMethodBody.

Remarks

This method creates the method's body from il, an array containing MSIL instructions as opcodes. The number of bytes of valid MSIL is given by count.

Note

This is currently not fully supported. The user cannot supply the location of token fix ups and exception handlers.
