The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:

8E	ldlen	Pushes the length (of type natural unsigned int) of an array on the stack.

The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:

[The 'ordered' type of list has not been implemented in the ECMA stylesheet.]

Arrays are objects and hence represented by a value of type O. The length is returned as a natural unsigned int.

NullReferenceException is thrown if the array reference is a null reference.

The following ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode) method overload can use the ldlen opcode:
