Namespace:

System.Reflection.Emit

Assembly:

System.Reflection.Emit.dll

Sets custom attributes for this constructor.

Overloads

SetCustomAttribute(ConstructorInfo, Byte[])

Source:

EnumBuilder.cs

Sets a custom attribute using a specified custom attribute blob.

public:
 void SetCustomAttribute(System::Reflection::ConstructorInfo ^ con, cli::array <System::Byte> ^ binaryAttribute);

public void SetCustomAttribute (System.Reflection.ConstructorInfo con, byte[] binaryAttribute);

member this.SetCustomAttribute : System.Reflection.ConstructorInfo * byte[] -> unit

Public Sub SetCustomAttribute (con As ConstructorInfo, binaryAttribute As Byte())

Parameters

con

ConstructorInfo

The constructor for the custom attribute.

binaryAttribute

Byte[]

A byte blob representing the attributes.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

con or binaryAttribute is null.
