member this.GetArrayMethod : Type * string * System.Reflection.CallingConventions * Type * Type[] -> System.Reflection.MethodInfo

Public Function GetArrayMethod (arrayClass As Type, methodName As String, callingConvention As CallingConventions, returnType As Type, parameterTypes As Type()) As MethodInfo

Parameters

arrayClass: Type

An array class.

methodName: String

The name of a method on the array class.

callingConvention: CallingConventions

The method's calling convention.

returnType: Type

The return type of the method.

parameterTypes: Type[]

The types of the method's parameters.

Returns

MethodInfo

The named method on an array class.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

arrayClass is not an array.

ArgumentNullException

arrayClass or methodName is null.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use GetArrayMethod to obtain the MethodInfo corresponding to a method that returns an array value.

// Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly.
ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder->
   DefineDynamicModule( "TempModule" );

// Define a runtime class with specified name and attributes.
TypeBuilder^ myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineType(
   "TempClass", TypeAttributes::Public );
array<Type^>^ paramArray = { Array::typeid };
// Add 'SortArray' method to the class, with the given signature.
MethodBuilder^ myMethod = myTypeBuilder->DefineMethod( "SortArray",
   MethodAttributes::Public, Array::typeid, paramArray );

array<Type^>^ myArrayClass = gcnew array<Type^>( 1 );
array<Type^>^ parameterTypes = { Array::typeid };
// Get the 'MethodInfo' object corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodInfo^ myMethodInfo = myModuleBuilder->GetArrayMethod(
   myArrayClass->GetType(), "Sort", CallingConventions::Standard,
   nullptr, parameterTypes );

// Get the token corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodToken myMethodToken = myModuleBuilder->GetArrayMethodToken(
   myArrayClass->GetType(), "Sort", CallingConventions::Standard,
   nullptr, parameterTypes );
Console::WriteLine( "Token used by module to identify the 'Sort' method"
   + " of 'Array' class is : {0:x} ", myMethodToken.Token );

ILGenerator^ methodIL = myMethod->GetILGenerator();
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ldarg_1 );
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Call, myMethodInfo );
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ldarg_1 );
methodIL->Emit( OpCodes::Ret );

// Complete the creation of type.
myTypeBuilder->CreateType();

// Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly.
ModuleBuilder myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder.
                              DefineDynamicModule("TempModule");
// Define a runtime class with specified name and attributes.
TypeBuilder myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder.DefineType
                           ("TempClass",TypeAttributes.Public);
Type[] paramArray = {typeof(Array)};
// Add 'SortArray' method to the class, with the given signature.
MethodBuilder myMethod = myTypeBuilder.DefineMethod("SortArray",
                          MethodAttributes.Public,typeof(Array),paramArray);

Type[] myArrayClass = new Type[1];
Type[] parameterTypes = {typeof(Array)};
// Get the 'MethodInfo' object corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodInfo myMethodInfo=myModuleBuilder.GetArrayMethod(
            myArrayClass.GetType(),"Sort",CallingConventions.Standard,
                                                                         null,parameterTypes);
// Get the token corresponding to 'Sort' method of 'Array' class.
MethodToken myMethodToken=myModuleBuilder.GetArrayMethodToken(
            myArrayClass.GetType(),"Sort",CallingConventions.Standard,
                                                                        null,parameterTypes);
Console.WriteLine("Token used by module to identify the 'Sort' method"
                            + " of 'Array' class is : {0:x} ",myMethodToken.Token);

ILGenerator methodIL = myMethod.GetILGenerator();
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1);
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Call,myMethodInfo);
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1);
methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

// Complete the creation of type.
myTypeBuilder.CreateType();

Remarks

GetArrayMethod is useful when you have an array of a type whose definition has not been completed and you want to access methods defined on Array. For example, you might define a type and want to define a method that takes an array of the type as a parameter. In order to access the elements of the array, you will need to call methods of the Array class.
