Returns the token for the named method on an array class.

public:
 System::Reflection::Emit::MethodToken GetArrayMethodToken(Type ^ arrayClass, System::String ^ methodName, System::Reflection::CallingConventions callingConvention, Type ^ returnType, cli::array <Type ^> ^ parameterTypes);

public System.Reflection.Emit.MethodToken GetArrayMethodToken (Type arrayClass, string methodName, System.Reflection.CallingConventions callingConvention, Type returnType, Type[] parameterTypes);

member this.GetArrayMethodToken : Type * string * System.Reflection.CallingConventions * Type * Type[] -> System.Reflection.Emit.MethodToken

Public Function GetArrayMethodToken (arrayClass As Type, methodName As String, callingConvention As CallingConventions, returnType As Type, parameterTypes As Type()) As MethodToken

Parameters

arrayClass: Type

The object for the array.

methodName: String

A string that contains the name of the method.

callingConvention: CallingConventions

The calling convention for the method.

returnType: Type

The return type of the method.

parameterTypes: Type[]

The types of the parameters of the method.

Returns

MethodToken

The token for the named method on an array class.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

arrayClass is not an array.

-or-

The length of methodName is zero.

ArgumentNullException

arrayClass or methodName is null.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use GetArrayMethod to obtain the MethodToken corresponding to a method that returns an array value.

// Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly.
ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder->
   DefineDynamicModule( "TempModule" );

// Define a runtime class with specified name and attributes.
TypeBuilder^ myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineType(
   "TempClass", TypeAttributes::Public );
array<Type^>^ paramArray = { Array::typeid };
// Add 'SortArray' method to the class, with the given signature.
MethodBuilder^ myMethod = myTypeBuilder->DefineMethod( "SortArray",
   MethodAttributes::Public, Array::typeid, paramArray );

array<Type^>^ myArrayClass = gcnew array<Type^>( 1 );
array<Type^>^ parameterTypes = { Array::typeid };
// Get the 'MethodInfo' object corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodInfo^ myMethodInfo = myModuleBuilder->GetArrayMethod(
   myArrayClass->GetType(), "Sort", CallingConventions::Standard,
   nullptr, parameterTypes );

// Get the token corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodToken myMethodToken = myModuleBuilder->GetArrayMethodToken(
   myArrayClass->GetType(), "Sort", CallingConventions::Standard,
   nullptr, parameterTypes );
Console::WriteLine( "Token used by module to identify the 'Sort' method"
   + " of 'Array' class is : {0:x} ", myMethodToken.Token );

ILGenerator^ methodIL = myMethod->GetILGenerator();
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ldarg_1 );
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Call, myMethodInfo );
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ldarg_1 );
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ret );

// Complete the creation of type.
myTypeBuilder->CreateType();

// Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly.
ModuleBuilder myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder.
                              DefineDynamicModule("TempModule");
// Define a runtime class with specified name and attributes.
TypeBuilder myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder.DefineType
                           ("TempClass",TypeAttributes.Public);
Type[] paramArray = {typeof(Array)};
// Add 'SortArray' method to the class, with the given signature.
MethodBuilder myMethod = myTypeBuilder.DefineMethod("SortArray",
                          MethodAttributes.Public,typeof(Array),paramArray);

Type[] myArrayClass = new Type[1];
Type[] parameterTypes = {typeof(Array)};
// Get the 'MethodInfo' object corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodInfo myMethodInfo=myModuleBuilder.GetArrayMethod(
            myArrayClass.GetType(),"Sort",CallingConventions.Standard,
                                                                         null,parameterTypes);
// Get the token corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodToken myMethodToken=myModuleBuilder.GetArrayMethodToken(
            myArrayClass.GetType(),"Sort",CallingConventions.Standard,
                                                                        null,parameterTypes);
Console.WriteLine("Token used by module to identify the 'Sort' method"
                            + " of 'Array' class is : {0:x} ",myMethodToken.Token);

ILGenerator methodIL = myMethod.GetILGenerator();
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1);
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Call,myMethodInfo);
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1);
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

// Complete the creation of type.
myTypeBuilder.CreateType();

Remarks

This method is similar to GetArrayMethod, except that it returns the token of the array method instead of the method itself.
