The following procedures show how to define and execute a simple dynamic method and a dynamic method bound to an instance of a class. For more information on dynamic methods, see the DynamicMethod class and Reflection Emit Dynamic Method Scenarios.

To define and execute a dynamic method

Declare a delegate type to execute the method. Consider using a generic delegate to minimize the number of delegate types you need to declare. The following code declares two delegate types that could be used for the SquareIt method, and one of them is generic.

Private Delegate Function _
    SquareItInvoker(ByVal input As Integer) As Long 

Private Delegate Function _
    OneParameter(Of TReturn, TParameter0) _
    (ByVal p0 As TParameter0) As TReturn

private delegate long SquareItInvoker(int input);

private delegate TReturn OneParameter<TReturn, TParameter0>
    (TParameter0 p0);

private: 
    delegate long long SquareItInvoker(int input);

    generic<typename TReturn, typename TParameter0> 
        delegate TReturn OneParameter(TParameter0 p0);

Create an array that specifies the parameter types for the dynamic method. In this example, the only parameter is an int (Integer in Visual Basic), so the array has only one element.
```
Dim methodArgs As Type() = { GetType(Integer) }
```
```
Type[] methodArgs = {typeof(int)};
```
```
array<Type^>^ methodArgs = { int::typeid };
```

Create a DynamicMethod. In this example the method is named SquareIt.

Note
It is not necessary to give dynamic methods names, and they cannot be invoked by name. Multiple dynamic methods can have the same name. However, the name appears in call stacks and can be useful for debugging.

The type of the return value is specified as long. The method is associated with the module that contains the Example class, which contains the example code. Any loaded module could be specified. The dynamic method acts like a module-level static method (Shared in Visual Basic).

Dim squareIt As New DynamicMethod( _
    "SquareIt", _
    GetType(Long), _
    methodArgs, _
    GetType(Example).Module)

DynamicMethod squareIt = new DynamicMethod(
    "SquareIt", 
    typeof(long), 
    methodArgs, 
    typeof(Example).Module);

DynamicMethod^ squareIt = gcnew DynamicMethod(
    "SquareIt", 
    long long::typeid, 
    methodArgs, 
    Example::typeid->Module);

Emit the method body. In this example, an ILGenerator object is used to emit the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL). Alternatively, a DynamicILInfo object can be used in conjunction with unmanaged code generators to emit the method body for a DynamicMethod.

The MSIL in this example loads the argument, which is an int, onto the stack, converts it to a long, duplicates the long, and multiplies the two numbers. This leaves the squared result on the stack, and all the method has to do is return.

Dim il As ILGenerator = squareIt.GetILGenerator()
il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0)
il.Emit(OpCodes.Conv_I8)
il.Emit(OpCodes.Dup)
il.Emit(OpCodes.Mul)
il.Emit(OpCodes.Ret)

ILGenerator il = squareIt.GetILGenerator();
il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);
il.Emit(OpCodes.Conv_I8);
il.Emit(OpCodes.Dup);
il.Emit(OpCodes.Mul);
il.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

ILGenerator^ il = squareIt->GetILGenerator();
il->Emit(OpCodes::Ldarg_0);
il->Emit(OpCodes::Conv_I8);
il->Emit(OpCodes::Dup);
il->Emit(OpCodes::Mul);
il->Emit(OpCodes::Ret);

Create an instance of the delegate (declared in step 1) that represents the dynamic method by calling the CreateDelegate method. Creating the delegate completes the method, and any further attempts to change the method — for example, adding more MSIL — are ignored. The following code creates the delegate and invokes it, using a generic delegate.

Dim invokeSquareIt As OneParameter(Of Long, Integer) = _
    CType( _
        squareIt.CreateDelegate( _
            GetType(OneParameter(Of Long, Integer))), _
        OneParameter(Of Long, Integer) _
    )

Console.WriteLine("123456789 squared = {0}", _ 
    invokeSquareIt(123456789))

OneParameter<long, int> invokeSquareIt = 
    (OneParameter<long, int>)
    squareIt.CreateDelegate(typeof(OneParameter<long, int>));

Console.WriteLine("123456789 squared = {0}",
    invokeSquareIt(123456789));

OneParameter<long long, int>^ invokeSquareIt = 
    (OneParameter<long long, int>^)
    squareIt->CreateDelegate(OneParameter<long long, int>::typeid);

Console::WriteLine("123456789 squared = {0}",
    invokeSquareIt(123456789));

To define and execute a dynamic method that is bound to an object

Declare a delegate type to execute the method. Consider using a generic delegate to minimize the number of delegate types you need to declare. The following code declares a generic delegate type that can be used to execute any method with one parameter and a return value, or a method with two parameters and a return value if the delegate is bound to an object.
```
Private Delegate Function _
    OneParameter(Of TReturn, TParameter0) _
    (ByVal p0 As TParameter0) As TReturn 
```
```
private delegate TReturn OneParameter<TReturn, TParameter0>
    (TParameter0 p0);
```
```
generic<typename TReturn, typename TParameter0> 
    delegate TReturn OneParameter(TParameter0 p0);
```
Create an array that specifies the parameter types for the dynamic method. If the delegate representing the method is to be bound to an object, the first parameter must match the type the delegate is bound to. In this example, there are two parameters, of type Example and type int (Integer in Visual Basic).
```
Dim methodArgs2 As Type() = _
    { GetType(Example), GetType(Integer) }
```
```
Type[] methodArgs2 = { typeof(Example), typeof(int) };
```
```
array<Type^>^ methodArgs2 = { Example::typeid, int::typeid };
```

Create a DynamicMethod. In this example the method has no name. The type of the return value is specified as int (Integer in Visual Basic). The method has access to the private and protected members of the Example class.

Dim multiplyPrivate As New DynamicMethod( _
    "", _
    GetType(Integer), _
    methodArgs2, _
    GetType(Example))

DynamicMethod multiplyHidden = new DynamicMethod(
    "", 
    typeof(int), 
    methodArgs2, 
    typeof(Example));

DynamicMethod^ multiplyHidden = gcnew DynamicMethod(
    "", 
    int::typeid, 
    methodArgs2, 
    Example::typeid);

Emit the method body. In this example, an ILGenerator object is used to emit the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL). Alternatively, a DynamicILInfo object can be used in conjunction with unmanaged code generators to emit the method body for a DynamicMethod.

The MSIL in this example loads the first argument, which is an instance of the Example class, and uses it to load the value of a private instance field of type int. The second argument is loaded, and the two numbers are multiplied. If the result is larger than int, the value is truncated and the most significant bits are discarded. The method returns, with the return value on the stack.

Dim ilMP As ILGenerator = multiplyPrivate.GetILGenerator()
ilMP.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0)

Dim testInfo As FieldInfo = _
    GetType(Example).GetField("test", _
        BindingFlags.NonPublic Or BindingFlags.Instance)

ilMP.Emit(OpCodes.Ldfld, testInfo)
ilMP.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1)
ilMP.Emit(OpCodes.Mul)
ilMP.Emit(OpCodes.Ret)

ILGenerator ilMH = multiplyHidden.GetILGenerator();
ilMH.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);

FieldInfo testInfo = typeof(Example).GetField("test",
    BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

ilMH.Emit(OpCodes.Ldfld, testInfo);
ilMH.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1);
ilMH.Emit(OpCodes.Mul);
ilMH.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

ILGenerator^ ilMH = multiplyHidden->GetILGenerator();
ilMH->Emit(OpCodes::Ldarg_0);

FieldInfo^ testInfo = Example::typeid->GetField("test",
    BindingFlags::NonPublic | BindingFlags::Instance);

ilMH->Emit(OpCodes::Ldfld, testInfo);
ilMH->Emit(OpCodes::Ldarg_1);
ilMH->Emit(OpCodes::Mul);
ilMH->Emit(OpCodes::Ret);

Create an instance of the delegate (declared in step 1) that represents the dynamic method by calling the CreateDelegate method overload. Creating the delegate completes the method, and any further attempts to change the method — for example, adding more MSIL — are ignored.

Note

You can call the CreateDelegate method multiple times to create delegates bound to other instances of the target type.

The following code binds the method to a new instance of the Example class whose private test field is set to 42. That is, each time the delegate is invoked the instance of Example is passed to the first parameter of the method.

The delegate OneParameter is used because the first parameter of the method always receives the instance of Example. When the delegate is invoked, only the second parameter is required.
```
Dim invoke As OneParameter(Of Integer, Integer) = _
    CType( _
        multiplyPrivate.CreateDelegate( _
            GetType(OneParameter(Of Integer, Integer)), _
            new Example(42) _
        ), _
        OneParameter(Of Integer, Integer) _
    )

Console.WriteLine("3 * test = {0}", invoke(3))
```
```
OneParameter<int, int> invoke = (OneParameter<int, int>)
    multiplyHidden.CreateDelegate(
        typeof(OneParameter<int, int>), 
        new Example(42)
    );

Console.WriteLine("3 * test = {0}", invoke(3));
```
```
OneParameter<int, int>^ invoke = (OneParameter<int, int>^)
    multiplyHidden->CreateDelegate(
        OneParameter<int, int>::typeid, 
        gcnew Example(42)
    );

Console::WriteLine("3 * test = {0}", invoke(3));
```

Note
You can call the CreateDelegate method multiple times to create delegates bound to other instances of the target type.

Example

The following code example demonstrates a simple dynamic method and a dynamic method bound to an instance of a class.

The simple dynamic method takes one argument, a 32-bit integer, and returns the 64-bit square of that integer. A generic delegate is used to invoke the method.

The second dynamic method has two parameters, of type Example and type int (Integer in Visual Basic). When the dynamic method has been created, it is bound to an instance of Example, using a generic delegate that has one argument of type int. The delegate does not have an argument of type Example because the first parameter of the method always receives the bound instance of Example. When the delegate is invoked, only the int argument is supplied. This dynamic method accesses a private field of the Example class and returns the product of the private field and the int argument.

The code example defines delegates that can be used to execute the methods.
