ICorProfilerInfo7::ApplyMetaData Method

[Supported in the .NET Framework 4.6.1 and later versions]

Applies the metadata newly defined by the IMetadataEmit::Define* methods to a specified module.

Syntax

HRESULT ApplyMetaData(  
        [in] ModuleID moduleID  
);

moduleID
[in] The identifier of the module whose metadata was changed.

If metadata changes are made after the ModuleLoadFinished callback, you must call this method before using the new metadata.

ApplyMetaData only supports adding the following types of metadata:

AssemblyRef records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataAssemblyEmit::DefineAssemblyRef. method.
TypeRef records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataEmit::DefineTypeRefByName method.
TypeSpec records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataEmit::GetTokenFromTypeSpec method.
MemberRef records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataEmit::DefineMemberRef method.
MemberSpec records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataEmit2::DefineMethodSpec method.
UserString records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataEmit::DefineUserString method.

Starting with .NET Core 3.0, ApplyMetaData also supports the following types:

TypeDef records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataEmit::DefineTypeDef method.
MethodDef records, which you create by calling the IMetaDataEmit::DefineMethod method. However, adding virtual methods to an existing type is not supported. Virtual methods must be added before the ModuleLoadFinished callback.
