Parameters

name
String

The name of the method. name cannot contain embedded nulls.

attributes
MethodAttributes

The attributes of the method.

callingConvention
CallingConventions

The calling convention of the method.

returnType
Type

The return type of the method.

returnTypeRequiredCustomModifiers
Type[]

An array of types representing the required custom modifiers, such as IsConst, for the return type of the method. If the return type has no required custom modifiers, specify null.

returnTypeOptionalCustomModifiers
Type[]

An array of types representing the optional custom modifiers, such as IsConst, for the return type of the method. If the return type has no optional custom modifiers, specify null.

parameterTypes
Type[]

The types of the parameters of the method.

parameterTypeRequiredCustomModifiers
Type[][]

An array of arrays of types. Each array of types represents the required custom modifiers for the corresponding parameter, such as IsConst. If a particular parameter has no required custom modifiers, specify null instead of an array of types. If none of the parameters have required custom modifiers, specify null instead of an array of arrays.

parameterTypeOptionalCustomModifiers
Type[][]

An array of arrays of types. Each array of types represents the optional custom modifiers for the corresponding parameter, such as IsConst. If a particular parameter has no optional custom modifiers, specify null instead of an array of types. If none of the parameters have optional custom modifiers, specify null instead of an array of arrays.

Returns

A MethodBuilder object representing the newly added method.

Exceptions

The length of name is zero.

-or-

The type of the parent of this method is an interface, and this method is not virtual (Overridable in Visual Basic).

-or-

The size of parameterTypeRequiredCustomModifiers or parameterTypeOptionalCustomModifiers does not equal the size of parameterTypes.

name is null.

The type was previously created using CreateType().

-or-

For the current dynamic type, the IsGenericType property is true, but the IsGenericTypeDefinition property is false.

Remarks

Use this overload if you need to specify custom modifiers. If you need to specify custom modifiers after the method has been created, as you would, for example, with a generic method whose parameter types are specified by its generic type parameters, you can use the DefineMethod(String, MethodAttributes) or DefineMethod(String, MethodAttributes, CallingConventions) method overloads to define the method and then use the MethodBuilder.SetSignature method to define the parameter and return types with custom modifiers.

Public Function DefineMethod (name As String, attributes As MethodAttributes, callingConvention As CallingConventions) As MethodBuilder

Parameters

name
String

The name of the method. name cannot contain embedded nulls.

attributes
MethodAttributes

The attributes of the method.

callingConvention
CallingConventions

The calling convention of the method.

Returns

A MethodBuilder representing the newly defined method.

Exceptions

name is null.

Remarks

Use this method overload when you do not know the method signature at the time you define the method. For example, the parameter types and return type of a generic method might be specified by the method's generic type parameters, which must be defined after the method has been added to the type.

Examples

The following code example defines a generic method named DemoMethod whose parameter type and return type are specified by its generic type parameters. The method is defined without a signature, using the standard calling convention. The MethodBuilder.DefineGenericParameters method is used to make DemoMethod a generic method, and the newly defined type parameters are then used for the signature and return type.

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DefineGenericParameters method.

// Define a Shared, Public method with standard calling
// conventions. Do not specify the parameter types or the
// return type, because type parameters will be used for

Remarks

Use this method overload when you do not know the method signature at the time you define the method. For example, the parameter types and return type of a generic method might be specified by the method's generic type parameters, which must be defined after the method has been added to the type. The parameters and return type of the method can be set later using the MethodBuilder.SetSignature method.

This method overload defines a method with CallingConventions.Standard. If you need to define a method without a signature, with a different calling convention, use the DefineMethod(String, MethodAttributes, CallingConventions) method overload.
