Loads the element at a specified array index onto the top of the evaluation stack as the type specified in the instruction.
Syntax
Remarks
The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:
| A3 < T > |
ldelem typeTok |
Loads the element at index onto the top of the stack as type typeTok. |
The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:
[The 'ordered' type of list has not been implemented in the ECMA stylesheet.]The ldelem instruction loads the value of the element with index index (type native int) in the zero-based one-dimensional array array and places it on the top of the stack. Arrays are objects, and hence represented by a value of type O.
The type of the return value is specified by the token typeTok in the instruction.
NullReferenceException is thrown if array is a null reference.
IndexOutOfRangeException is thrown if index is negative, or larger than the upper bound of array.
The following ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode) method overload can use the ldelem opcode:
ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, Type)
