The System.Reflection.Emit namespace contains classes that allow a compiler or tool to emit metadata and Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and optionally generate a PE file on disk. The primary clients of these classes are script engines and compilers.
Type | Reason |
---|---|
AssemblyBuilder |
Defines and represents a dynamic assembly. |
AssemblyBuilderAccess |
Defines the access modes for a dynamic assembly. |
ConstructorBuilder |
Defines and represents a constructor of a dynamic class. |
CustomAttributeBuilder |
Helps build custom attributes. |
DynamicILInfo |
Provides support for alternative ways to generate the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) and metadata for a dynamic method, including methods for creating tokens and for inserting the code, exception handling, and local variable signature blobs. |
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. |
EventToken |
Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent an event. |
FieldBuilder |
Defines and represents a field. This class cannot be inherited. |
FieldToken |
The FieldToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a field. |
FlowControl |
Describes how an instruction alters the flow of control. |
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. |
Label |
Represents a label in the instruction stream. Label is used in conjunction with the System.Reflection.Emit.ILGenerator class. |
LocalBuilder |
Represents a local variable within a method or constructor. |
MethodBuilder |
Defines and represents a method (or constructor) on a dynamic class. |
MethodRental |
Provides a fast way to swap method body implementation given a method of a class. |
MethodToken |
The MethodToken struct is an object representation of a token that represents a method. |
ModuleBuilder |
Defines and represents a module in a dynamic assembly. |
OpCode |
Describes a Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction. |
OpCodes |
Provides field representations of the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) instructions for emission by the System.Reflection.Emit.ILGenerator class members (such as System.Reflection.Emit.ILGenerator.Emit(System.Reflection.Emit.OpCode)). |
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. |
ParameterBuilder |
Creates or associates parameter information. |
ParameterToken |
The ParameterToken struct is an opaque representation of the token returned by the metadata to represent a parameter. |
PEFileKinds |
Specifies the type of the portable executable (PE) file. |
PropertyBuilder |
Defines the properties for a type. |
PropertyToken |
The PropertyToken struct is an opaque representation of the Token returned by the metadata to represent a property. |
SignatureHelper |
Provides methods for building signatures. |
SignatureToken |
Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a signature. |
StackBehaviour |
Describes how values are pushed onto a stack or popped off a stack. |
StringToken |
Represents a token that represents a string. |
TypeBuilder |
Defines and creates new instances of classes during run time. |
TypeToken |
Represents the Token returned by the metadata to represent a type. |
UnmanagedMarshal |
Represents the class that describes how to marshal a field from managed to unmanaged code. This class cannot be inherited. |
