Public Function DefineGlobalMethod (name As String, attributes As MethodAttributes, callingConvention As CallingConventions, returnType As Type, parameterTypes As Type()) As MethodBuilder

Returns
The defined global method.
Exceptions

An element in the Type array is null
.

Examples
The following code sample illustrates the use of DefineGlobalMethod
to create a type-independent method tied to the current ModuleBuilder. After building the global method, CreateGlobalFunctions must be called in order to complete it.
AppDomain^ currentDomain;
AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName;
MethodBuilder^ myMethodBuilder = nullptr;
ILGenerator^ myILGenerator;
// Get the current application domain for the current thread.
currentDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
myAssemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName;
myAssemblyName->Name = "TempAssembly";
// Define a dynamic assembly in the 'currentDomain'.
myAssemblyBuilder =
currentDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly(
myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave );
// Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly.
myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder->DefineDynamicModule( "TempModule" );
// Define a global method in the 'TempModule' module.
myMethodBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineGlobalMethod(
"MyMethod1", (MethodAttributes)(MethodAttributes::Static | MethodAttributes::Public),
nullptr, nullptr );
myILGenerator = myMethodBuilder->GetILGenerator();
myILGenerator->EmitWriteLine( "Hello World from global method." );
myILGenerator->Emit( OpCodes::Ret );
// Fix up the 'TempModule' module .
myModuleBuilder->CreateGlobalFunctions();

// Define a dynamic assembly in the 'currentDomain'.
myAssemblyBuilder =

Remarks
You cannot use the global method that this method defines until you call CreateGlobalFunctions.

Parameters
- name
- String
The name of the method. name
cannot contain embedded null characters.

- MethodAttributes
The attributes of the method. attributes
must include Static.
- callingConvention
- CallingConventions
The calling convention for the method.
- returnType
- Type
The return type of the method.
- requiredReturnTypeCustomModifiers
- Type[]
An array of types representing the required custom modifiers for the return type, such as IsConst or IsBoxed. If the return type has no required custom modifiers, specify null
.
- optionalReturnTypeCustomModifiers
- Type[]
An array of types representing the optional custom modifiers for the return type, such as IsConst or IsBoxed. If the return type has no optional custom modifiers, specify null
.
- parameterTypes
- Type[]
The types of the method's parameters.
- requiredParameterTypeCustomModifiers
- Type[][]
An array of arrays of types. Each array of types represents the required custom modifiers for the corresponding parameter of the global method. If a particular argument has no required custom modifiers, specify null
instead of an array of types. If the global method has no arguments, or if none of the arguments have required custom modifiers, specify null
instead of an array of arrays.
- optionalParameterTypeCustomModifiers
- Type[][]
An array of arrays of types. Each array of types represents the optional custom modifiers for the corresponding parameter. If a particular argument has no optional custom modifiers, specify null
instead of an array of types. If the global method has no arguments, or if none of the arguments have optional custom modifiers, specify null
instead of an array of arrays.
Returns
The defined global method.
Exceptions
The method is not static. That is, attributes
does not include Static.
-or-
An element in the Type array is null
