-or-

The declaring type of method is not the generic type definition of type.

Examples

The following code example contains source code for a generic class named Sample that has a type parameter named T. The class has a field named Field, of type T, and a generic method named GM with its own type parameter, named U. Method GM creates an instance of Sample, substituting its own type parameter U for the type parameter of Sample, and stores its input parameter in Field. This source code is compiled but not used; you can view it with the Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler) and compare it to the code emitted by class Example.

The code in class Example demonstrates the use of the GetMethod method to emit generic code. The Main method of class Example creates a dynamic assembly containing a class named Sample and uses the DefineGenericParameters method to make it generic by adding a type parameter named T. A parameterless constructor and a field named Field, of type T, are added to class Sample. A method GM is added and turned into a generic method by using the MethodBuilder.DefineGenericParameters method. The type parameter of GM is named U. After the type parameter is defined, the signature of GM is added by using the MethodBuilder.SetSignature method. There is no return type and no required or custom modifiers, so all the parameters of this method are null except parameterTypes; parameterTypes sets the type of the method's only parameter to U, the method's generic type parameter. The body of the method creates an instance of the constructed type Sample<U> (Sample(Of U) in Visual Basic), assigns the method's parameter to Field, and then prints the value of Field. A dummy type is defined to hold the entry-point method Main. In the body of Main, the static GM method is invoked on the constructed generic type Sample<int> (Sample(Of Integer) in Visual Basic), with type String substituted for U. The GetMethod method is used to create a MethodInfo for the static GM method of the constructed generic type Sample<U>, and the MethodInfo.MakeGenericMethod method is then used to create a MethodInfo that can emitted in a method call.

When the code example is run, it saves the emitted assembly as TypeBuilderGetFieldExample.exe. You can run TypeBuilderGetFieldExample.exe, and you can use the Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler) to compare the emitted code with the code for the Sample class that is compiled into the code example itself.

Remarks

The GetMethod method provides a way to get a MethodInfo object that represents a method of a constructed generic type whose generic type definition is represented by a TypeBuilder object.

For example, suppose you have a TypeBuilder object that represents the type G<T> in C# syntax (G(Of T) in Visual Basic, generic <T> ref class G in C++) and a MethodBuilder object that represents a method T M() in C# syntax (Function M() As T in Visual Basic, T M() in C++) that is defined by G<T>. Suppose that G<T> has a generic method with type parameter U that creates an instance of the constructed type G<U> and calls method M on that instance. In order to emit the function call, you need a MethodInfo object that represents M on the constructed type - in other words, that returns type U rather than type T. To do this, first call the MakeGenericType method on the TypeBuilder object, specifying the GenericTypeParameterBuilder object that represents U as the type argument. Then call the GetMethod method with the return value of the MakeGenericType method as parameter type and the MethodBuilder object that represents T M() as parameter method. The return value is the MethodInfo object you need to emit the function call. The code example demonstrates a scenario similar to this.
