Converts a metadata token to its runtime representation, pushing it onto the evaluation stack.
Syntax
Remarks
The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:
| D0 < T > |
ldtoken token |
Converts a metadata token to its runtime representation. |
The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:
[The 'ordered' type of list has not been implemented in the ECMA stylesheet.]The ldtoken instruction pushes a RuntimeHandle for the specified metadata token. A RuntimeHandle can be a fieldref/fielddef, a methodref/methoddef, or a typeref/typedef.
The value pushed on the stack can be used in calls to Reflection methods in the system class library.
For information on runtime handles, see the following classes: RuntimeFieldHandle, RuntimeTypeHandle, and RuntimeMethodHandle.
The following ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode) method overloads can use the ldtoken opcode:
ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, MethodInfo)
ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, FieldInfo)
ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, Type)
