DynamicMethod Class

Definition

Defines and represents a dynamic method that can be compiled, executed, and discarded. Discarded methods are available for garbage collection.

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 method.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Reflection::Emit;
using namespace System::Globalization;

// Declare a delegate type that can be used to execute the completed
// dynamic method. 
private delegate int HelloDelegate(String^ msg, int ret);

    // of the dynamic method. This dynamic method has a String
    // parameter and an Integer parameter.
    array<Type^>^ helloArgs = { String::typeid, int::typeid };

    // Create a dynamic method with the name "Hello", a return type
    // of Integer, and two parameters whose types are specified by
    // the array helloArgs. Create the method in the module that
    // defines the String class.
    DynamicMethod^ hello = gcnew DynamicMethod("Hello", 
        int::typeid, 
        helloArgs, 
        String::typeid->Module);

    // Create an array that specifies the parameter types of the
    // overload of Console::WriteLine to be used in Hello.
    array<Type^>^ writeStringArgs = { String::typeid };
    // Get the overload of Console::WriteLine that has one
    // String parameter.
    MethodInfo^ writeString = Console::typeid->GetMethod("WriteLine", 
        writeStringArgs);

    // Get an ILGenerator and emit a body for the dynamic method,
    // using a stream size larger than the IL that will be
    // emitted.

    // to do this, load the onto the stack and return.
    il->Emit(OpCodes::Ldarg_1);
    il->Emit(OpCodes::Ret);

    // Add parameter information to the dynamic method. (This is not
