DynamicMethod(String, Type, Type[])

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Initializes an anonymously hosted dynamic method, specifying the method name, return type, and parameter types.

public:
 DynamicMethod(System::String ^ name, Type ^ returnType, cli::array <Type ^> ^ parameterTypes);

public DynamicMethod (string name, Type? returnType, Type[]? parameterTypes);

public DynamicMethod (string name, Type returnType, Type[] parameterTypes);

new System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod : string * Type * Type[] -> System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod

Public Sub New (name As String, returnType As Type, parameterTypes As Type())

Parameters

name: String

The name of the dynamic method. This can be a zero-length string, but it cannot be null.

returnType: Type

A Type object that specifies the return type of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no return type.

parameterTypes: Type[]

An array of Type objects specifying the types of the parameters of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no parameters.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

An element of parameterTypes is null or Void.

ArgumentNullException

name is null.

NotSupportedException

.NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: returnType is a type for which IsByRef returns true.

Remarks

The dynamic method that is created by this constructor is associated with an anonymous assembly instead of an existing type or module. The anonymous assembly exists only to provide a sandbox environment for dynamic methods, that is, to isolate them from other code. This environment makes it safe for the dynamic method to be emitted and executed by partially trusted code.

This constructor specifies that just-in-time (JIT) visibility checks will be enforced for the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) of the dynamic method. That is, the code in the dynamic method has access to public methods of public classes. Exceptions are thrown if the method tries to access types or members that are private, protected, or internal (Friend in Visual Basic). To create a dynamic method that has restricted ability to skip JIT visibility checks, use the DynamicMethod(String, Type, Type[], Boolean) constructor.

When an anonymously hosted dynamic method is constructed, the call stack of the emitting assembly is included. When the method is invoked, the permissions of the emitting assembly are used instead of the permissions of the actual caller. Thus, the dynamic method cannot execute at a higher level of privilege than that of the assembly that emitted it, even if it is passed to and executed by an assembly that has a higher trust level.

This constructor specifies the method attributes MethodAttributes.Public and MethodAttributes.Static, and the calling convention CallingConventions.Standard.

Note

This constructor was introduced in the .NET Framework 3.5 or later.

DynamicMethod(String, Type, Type[], Boolean)

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Initializes an anonymously hosted dynamic method, specifying the method name, return type, parameter types, and whether just-in-time (JIT) visibility checks should be skipped for types and members accessed by the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) of the dynamic method.

public:
 DynamicMethod(System::String ^ name, Type ^ returnType, cli::array <Type ^> ^ parameterTypes, bool restrictedSkipVisibility);

public DynamicMethod (string name, Type? returnType, Type[]? parameterTypes, bool restrictedSkipVisibility);

public DynamicMethod (string name, Type returnType, Type[] parameterTypes, bool restrictedSkipVisibility);

new System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod : string * Type * Type[] * bool -> System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod

Public Sub New (name As String, returnType As Type, parameterTypes As Type(), restrictedSkipVisibility As Boolean)

Parameters

name: String

The name of the dynamic method. This can be a zero-length string, but it cannot be null.

returnType: Type

A Type object that specifies the return type of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no return type.

parameterTypes: Type[]

An array of Type objects specifying the types of the parameters of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no parameters.

restrictedSkipVisibility: Boolean

true to skip JIT visibility checks on types and members accessed by the MSIL of the dynamic method, with this restriction: the trust level of the assemblies that contain those types and members must be equal to or less than the trust level of the call stack that emits the dynamic method; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

An element of parameterTypes is null or Void.

ArgumentNullException

name is null.

NotSupportedException

.NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: returnType is a type for which IsByRef returns true.

Remarks

Anonymously hosted dynamic methods do not have automatic access to any types or members that are private, protected, or internal (Friend in Visual Basic). This is different from dynamic methods that are associated with an existing type or module, which have access to hidden members in their associated scope.

Specify true for restrictedSkipVisibility if your dynamic method has to access types or members that are private, protected, or internal. This gives the dynamic method restricted access to these members. That is, the members can be accessed only if the following conditions are met:

The target members belong to an assembly that has a level of trust equal to or lower than the call stack that emits the dynamic method.
The call stack that emits the dynamic method is granted ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess flag. This is always true when the code is executed with full trust. For partially trusted code, it is true only if the host explicitly grants the permission.

Important

If the permission has not been granted, a security exception is thrown when CreateDelegate is called or when the dynamic method is invoked, not when this constructor is called. No special permissions are required to emit the dynamic method.

For example, a dynamic method that is created with restrictedSkipVisibility set to true can access a private member of any assembly on the call stack if the call stack has been granted restricted member access. If the dynamic method is created with partially trusted code on the call stack, it cannot access a private member of a type in a .NET Framework assembly, because such assemblies are fully trusted.

If restrictedSkipVisibility is false, JIT visibility checks are enforced. The code in the dynamic method has access to public methods of public classes, and exceptions are thrown if it tries to access types or members that are private, protected, or internal.

When an anonymously hosted dynamic method is constructed, the call stack of the emitting assembly is included. When the method is invoked, the permissions of the emitting call stack are used instead of the permissions of the actual caller. Thus, the dynamic method cannot execute at a higher level of privilege than that of the assembly that emitted it, even if it is passed to and executed by an assembly that has a higher trust level.

This constructor specifies the method attributes MethodAttributes.Public and MethodAttributes.Static, and the calling convention CallingConventions.Standard.

Examples

The following code example creates a dynamic method that takes two parameters. The example emits a simple function body that prints the first parameter to the console, and the example uses the second parameter as the return value of the method. The example completes the method by creating a delegate, invokes the delegate with different parameters, and finally invokes the dynamic method using the Invoke(Object, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo) method.

Remarks

This constructor specifies method attributes MethodAttributes.Public and MethodAttributes.Static, calling convention CallingConventions.Standard, and does not skip just-in-time (JIT) visibility checks.

The dynamic method created with this constructor has access to public and internal (Friend in Visual Basic) members of all the types contained in module m.

Note

For backward compatibility, this constructor demands SecurityPermission with the SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlEvidence flag if the following conditions are both true: m is a module other than the calling module, and the demand for ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess flag has failed. If the demand for SecurityPermission succeeds, the operation is allowed.

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Creates a dynamic method, specifying the method name, return type, parameter types, and the type with which the dynamic method is logically associated.

public:
 DynamicMethod(System::String ^ name, Type ^ returnType, cli::array <Type ^> ^ parameterTypes, Type ^ owner);

public DynamicMethod (string name, Type? returnType, Type[]? parameterTypes, Type owner);

new System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod : string * Type * Type[] * Type -> System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod

Public Sub New (name As String, returnType As Type, parameterTypes As Type(), owner As Type)

Parameters

name: String

The name of the dynamic method. This can be a zero-length string, but it cannot be null.

returnType: Type

A Type object that specifies the return type of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no return type.

parameterTypes: Type[]

An array of Type objects specifying the types of the parameters of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no parameters.

owner: Type

A Type with which the dynamic method is logically associated. The dynamic method has access to all members of the type.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

An element of parameterTypes is null or Void.

-or-

owner is an interface, an array, an open generic type, or a type parameter of a generic type or method.

ArgumentNullException

name is null.

-or-

owner is null.

NotSupportedException

.NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: returnType is a type for which IsByRef returns true.

Examples

The following code example creates a DynamicMethod that is logically associated with a type. This association gives it access to the private members of that type.

The code example defines a class named Example with a private field, a class named DerivedFromExample that derives from the first class, a delegate type named UseLikeStatic that returns Int32 and has parameters of type Example and Int32, and a delegate type named UseLikeInstance that returns Int32 and has one parameter of type Int32.

The example code then creates a DynamicMethod that changes the private field of an instance of Example and returns the previous value.

Note

In general, changing the internal fields of classes is not good object-oriented coding practice.

The example code creates an instance of Example and then creates two delegates. The first is of type UseLikeStatic, which has the same parameters as the dynamic method. The second is of type UseLikeInstance, which lacks the first parameter (of type Example). This delegate is created using the CreateDelegate(Type, Object) method overload; the second parameter of that method overload is an instance of Example, in this case the instance just created, which is bound to the newly created delegate. Whenever that delegate is invoked, the dynamic method acts on the bound instance of Example.

Note

This is an example of the relaxed rules for delegate binding introduced in the .NET Framework 2.0, along with new overloads of the Delegate.CreateDelegate method. For more information, see the Delegate class.

The UseLikeStatic delegate is invoked, passing in the instance of Example that is bound to the UseLikeInstance delegate. Then the UseLikeInstance delegate is invoked, so that both delegates act on the same instance of Example. The changes in the values of the internal field are displayed after each call. Finally, a UseLikeInstance delegate is bound to an instance of DerivedFromExample, and the delegate calls are repeated.

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Source:: DynamicMethod.cs

Creates a dynamic method that is global to a module, specifying the method name, return type, parameter types, module, and whether just-in-time (JIT) visibility checks should be skipped for types and members accessed by the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) of the dynamic method.

public:
 DynamicMethod(System::String ^ name, Type ^ returnType, cli::array <Type ^> ^ parameterTypes, System::Reflection::Module ^ m, bool skipVisibility);

public DynamicMethod (string name, Type? returnType, Type[]? parameterTypes, System.Reflection.Module m, bool skipVisibility);

public DynamicMethod (string name, Type returnType, Type[] parameterTypes, System.Reflection.Module m, bool skipVisibility);

new System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod : string * Type * Type[] * System.Reflection.Module * bool -> System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod

Public Sub New (name As String, returnType As Type, parameterTypes As Type(), m As Module, skipVisibility As Boolean)

Parameters

name: String

The name of the dynamic method. This can be a zero-length string, but it cannot be null.

returnType: Type

A Type object that specifies the return type of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no return type.

parameterTypes: Type[]

An array of Type objects specifying the types of the parameters of the dynamic method, or null if the method has no parameters.

m: Module

A Module representing the module with which the dynamic method is to be logically associated.

skipVisibility: Boolean

true to skip JIT visibility checks on types and members accessed by the MSIL of the dynamic method.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

An element of parameterTypes is null or Void.

-or-

m is a module that provides anonymous hosting for dynamic methods.

ArgumentNullException

name is null.

-or-

m is null.

NotSupportedException

.NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: returnType is a type for which IsByRef returns true.

Remarks

This constructor specifies method attributes MethodAttributes.Public and MethodAttributes.Static, and calling convention CallingConventions.Standard.

The dynamic method created with this constructor has access to public and internal (Friend in Visual Basic) members of all the types in contained module m. Skipping the JIT compiler's visibility checks allows the dynamic method to access private and protected members of all other types as well. This is useful, for example, when writing code to serialize objects.
