The LocalBuilder type exposes the following members.

Properties

  Name Description
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone IsPinned Gets a value indicating whether the object referred to by the local variable is pinned in memory. (Overrides LocalVariableInfo.IsPinned.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone LocalIndex Gets the zero-based index of the local variable within the method body. (Overrides LocalVariableInfo.LocalIndex.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone LocalType Gets the type of the local variable. (Overrides LocalVariableInfo.LocalType.)

Methods

  Name Description
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone SetLocalSymInfo(String) Sets the name of this local variable.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone SetLocalSymInfo(String, Int32, Int32) Sets the name and lexical scope of this local variable.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ToString Returns a user-readable string that describes the local variable. (Inherited from LocalVariableInfo.)

Remarks

A LocalBuilder object can be defined using the DeclareLocal method.

Examples

The following example creates a static method (Shared in Visual Basic) named Function1 that returns a string and has a parameter of type Int32. In the body of the method, the code example creates LocalBuilder objects representing two local variables. The method does not do anything significant, but the method body demonstrates storing a parameter to a local variable, storing a literal string to a local variable, and loading a local variable.

Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      ' Create an assembly.
