public System.Reflection.Metadata.GenericParameterHandle AddGenericParameter (System.Reflection.Metadata.EntityHandle parent, System.Reflection.GenericParameterAttributes attributes, System.Reflection.Metadata.StringHandle name, int index);

member this.AddGenericParameter : System.Reflection.Metadata.EntityHandle * System.Reflection.GenericParameterAttributes * System.Reflection.Metadata.StringHandle * int -> System.Reflection.Metadata.GenericParameterHandle

Public Function AddGenericParameter (parent As EntityHandle, attributes As GenericParameterAttributes, name As StringHandle, index As Integer) As GenericParameterHandle

Parameters

parent

EntityHandle

The parent entity handle, which can be either a TypeDefinitionHandle or MethodDefinitionHandle.

attributes

GenericParameterAttributes

The generic parameter attributes.

name

StringHandle

The parameter name.

index

Int32

The zero-based parameter index.

Returns

GenericParameterHandle

A handle to the added generic parameter.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

parent doesn't have the expected handle kind.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Remarks

Generic parameters must be added in an order determined by the coded index of their parent entity (CodedIndex.TypeOrMethodDef(EntityHandle)).

Generic parameters with the same parent must be ordered by their index.
