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. |
