Methods View (System_Runtime)
Contains instances of common language runtime (CLR) methods.
Fields
The following table lists the fields in the Methods view.
| Column | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Id |
bigint |
yes |
The identifier of the method. |
Access |
smallint |
yes |
An enumeration value between 0 and 6 that describes the access restrictions for the method. These numeric values are equivalent to compiler, private, family and assembly, assembly, family, family or assembly, and public, respectively. |
Attributes |
nvarchar(max) |
The custom attributes for the method. |
|
Name |
nvarchar(max) |
yes |
The name of the method. |
CallingConvention |
smallint |
yes |
An enumeration value between 1 and 6 that describes the calling convention used by this method. These numeric values are equivalent to default, unmanaged cdecl, unmanaged fastcall, unmanaged stdcall, unmanaged thiscall, and variable arguments, respectively. (Default = 1) |
Code |
nvarchar(max) |
Optional source code information for the method. |
|
OverriddenMethod |
bigint |
A method in a parent class that the method overrides. References the [System_Runtime].[Methods] view. |
|
DeclaringType |
bigint |
yes |
The type that contains the method. References the [System_Runtime].[Types] view. |
Documentation |
nvarchar(max) |
The XML Document fragment for the method. |
|
DocumentPart |
bigint |
A reference to optional source line information. |
|
IsAbstract |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that indicates that the method is abstract. (Default = 0) |
Folder |
int |
yes |
The “Oslo” repository Folder associated with the method. References the [Repository.Item].[Folders] view. (Default = 100) |
IsStatic |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that indicates that the method is static. (Default = 0) |
IsVirtual |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that indicates that the method is virtual. (Default = 0) |
Instructions |
nvarchar(max) |
An optional string that provides method instructions. |
|
IsFinal |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that indicates that the method is final, meaning that this method cannot be overridden in derived classes. (Default = 0) |
IsNew |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that specifies that the method will get a new slot in the virtual method table. (Default = 0) |
IsToolSpecialName |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that specifies that the method name is special and has a reserved use by tools other than the common language runtime (CLR). (Default = 0) |
IsRuntimeSpecialName |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that specifies that the method name is special and has a reserved use by the common language runtime (CLR). (Default = 0) |
HidesByNameOnly |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that specifies that development tools should hide methods of the base class that match the name only, regardless of the method signature. When this flag is set to 0, methods are hidden based on the method signature. (Default = 0) |
IsPInvokeImplementation |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that indicates that the implementation is forwarded through PInvoke. (Default = 0) |
IsSingleThreaded |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that specifies that the body of the method is single-threaded. (Default = 1) |
Kind |
smallint |
yes |
An enumeration value between 1 and 9 that describes the kind of the method. These numeric values are equivalent to "set property", "get property", "other property", "add event handler", "remove event handler", "raise event", "other event", "constructor", and "other", respectively. |
NoInlining |
bit |
yes |
A bit flag that specifies that this method should not be included directly into the code of any caller methods. (Default = 0) |
ExplicitType |
bigint |
The type that contains the method that this method explicitly overrides. References the [System_Runtime].[Types] view. |
|
Parameters |
bigint |
A reference to the parameter signature. This value can be used to find the method's parameters in the [System_Runtime].[Parameters] view through that view's ParameterSignature field. References the [System_Runtime].[ParameterSignatures] view. |
|
ReturnType |
bigint |
The return type signature of the method. References the [System_Runtime].[TypeSignatures] view. |
|
MetadataToken |
int |
yes |
The metadata token for the method. |
