OpCodes.Ldtoken Field

Definition

Namespace:

System.Reflection.Emit

Assemblies:

netstandard.dll, System.Reflection.Primitives.dll

Source:

OpCodes.cs

Converts a metadata token to its runtime representation, pushing it onto the evaluation stack.

C#

public static readonly System.Reflection.Emit.OpCode Ldtoken;

Field Value

OpCode

Remarks

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

Format	Assembly Format	Description
D0 < T >	ldtoken token	Converts a metadata token to its runtime representation.

The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:

1. The passed token is converted to a RuntimeHandle and pushed onto the stack.

The ldtoken instruction pushes a RuntimeHandle for the specified metadata token. A RuntimeHandle can be a fieldref/fielddef, a methodref/methoddef, or a typeref/typedef.

The value pushed on the stack can be used in calls to Reflection methods in the system class library.

For information on runtime handles, see the following classes: RuntimeFieldHandle, RuntimeTypeHandle, and RuntimeMethodHandle.

The following Emit method overloads can use the ldtoken opcode:

• ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, MethodInfo)

• ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, FieldInfo)

• ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode, Type)
