Remarks

MethodBuilder is used to fully describe a method in Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL), including the name, attributes, signature, and method body. It is used in conjunction with the TypeBuilder class to create classes at runtime.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the MethodBuilder class to create a method within a dynamic type. The example defines a dynamic assembly with one module. The module in the example assembly contains one type, MyDynamicType, which has a private field, a property that gets and sets the private field, constructors that initialize the private field, and a method that multiplies a user-supplied number by the private field value and returns the result.

NoteNote:

To run this example, see Building Examples That Use a Demo Method and a TextBlock Control.
