System.Reflection.Emit Namespace
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
The System.Reflection.Emit namespace contains classes that allow a compiler or tool to emit metadata and Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL). The primary clients of these classes are script engines and compilers.
Classes
Class | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() |
AssemblyBuilder | Defines and represents a dynamic assembly. |
![]() |
ConstructorBuilder | Defines and represents a constructor of a dynamic class. |
![]() |
CustomAttributeBuilder | Represents a custom attribute in a form that can be attached to a type or member that is being emitted. |
![]() |
DynamicMethod | Defines and represents a dynamic method that can be compiled, executed, and discarded. Discarded methods are available for garbage collection. |
![]() |
EnumBuilder | Describes and represents an enumeration type. |
![]() |
EventBuilder | Defines events for a class. |
![]() |
FieldBuilder | Defines and represents a field. This class cannot be inherited. |
![]() |
GenericTypeParameterBuilder | Defines and creates generic type parameters for dynamically defined generic types and methods. This class cannot be inherited. |
![]() |
ILGenerator | Generates Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions. |
![]() |
LocalBuilder | Represents a local variable within a method or constructor. |
![]() |
MethodBuilder | Defines and represents a method (or constructor) on a dynamic class. |
![]() |
ModuleBuilder | Defines and represents a module in a dynamic assembly. |
![]() |
OpCodes | Provides field representations of the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions for emission by the ILGenerator class members (such as Emit). |
![]() |
ParameterBuilder | Creates or associates parameter information. |
![]() |
PropertyBuilder | Defines a property for a dynamic type. |
![]() |
SignatureHelper | Provides methods for building signatures. |
![]() |
TypeBuilder | Defines and creates new instances of classes during run time. |
Structures
Structure | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() |
EventToken | Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent an event. |
![]() |
FieldToken | The FieldToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a field. |
![]() |
Label | Represents a label in the instruction stream. Label is used in conjunction with the ILGenerator class. |
![]() |
MethodToken | The MethodToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a method. |
![]() |
OpCode | Describes a Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction. |
![]() |
ParameterToken | The ParameterToken struct is an opaque representation of the token returned by the metadata to represent a parameter. |
![]() |
PropertyToken | The PropertyToken struct is an opaque representation of the Token returned by the metadata to represent a property. |
![]() |
SignatureToken | Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a signature. |
![]() |
StringToken | Represents a token that represents a string. |
![]() |
TypeToken | Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a type. |
Enumerations
Enumeration | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() |
AssemblyBuilderAccess | Defines the access modes for a dynamic assembly. |
![]() |
FlowControl | Describes how an instruction alters the flow of control. |
![]() |
OpCodeType | Describes the types of the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions. |
![]() |
OperandType | Describes the operand type of Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction. |
![]() |
PackingSize | Specifies one of two factors that determine the memory alignment of fields when a type is marshaled. |
![]() |
PEFileKinds | Specifies the type of the portable executable (PE) file. |
![]() |
StackBehaviour | Describes how values are pushed onto a stack or popped off a stack. |
