Examples

The example below demonstrates a call to DefineUnmanagedResource, passing an external resource file.

void main()
{
   AssemblyBuilder^ myAssembly = CreateAssembly("MyEmitTestAssembly");
   
   // Defines a standalone managed resource for this assembly.
   IResourceWriter^ myResourceWriter = 
      myAssembly->DefineResource( "myResourceFile", "A sample Resource File", 
         "MyAssemblyResource.resources", ResourceAttributes::Private );

   myResourceWriter->AddResource( "AddResource Test", "Testing for the added resource" );

   myAssembly->Save(myAssembly->GetName()->Name + ".dll" );
   
   // Defines an unmanaged resource file for this assembly.
   myAssembly->DefineUnmanagedResource(  "MyAssemblyResource.resources" );
};

   internal static void Main()
   {

         "A sample Resource File", "MyAssemblyResource.resources",
         ResourceAttributes.Private);

      myResourceWriter.AddResource("AddResource Test", "Testing for the added resource");

      myAssembly.Save(myAssembly.GetName().Name + ".dll");

      // Defines an unmanaged resource file for this assembly.
      myAssembly.DefineUnmanagedResource("MyAssemblyResource.resources");
   }

   private static AssemblyBuilder CreateAssembly(string name)
   {
      AssemblyName aName = new AssemblyName(name);
      AssemblyBuilder myAssembly =
         AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(aName,
            AssemblyBuilderAccess.Save);

      // Define a dynamic module.
      ModuleBuilder myModule =
         myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule(aName.Name, aName.Name + ".dll");

      // Define a public class named "EmitClass" in the assembly.
      TypeBuilder myEmitClass = myModule.DefineType("EmitClass", TypeAttributes.Public);

      // Define the Display method.
      MethodBuilder myMethod = myEmitClass.DefineMethod("Display",
         MethodAttributes.Public, typeof(String), null);

      // Generate IL for Display method.
      ILGenerator methodIL = myMethod.GetILGenerator();
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldstr, "Display method gets called.");
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

End Function

Remarks

An assembly can be associated with only one unmanaged resource. This means that calling DefineVersionInfoResource or DefineUnmanagedResource after either one of the methods was called previously will throw the System.ArgumentException. Multiple unmanaged resources need to be merged with a tool such as the Microsoft ResMerge utility (not supplied with the common language runtime).

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1, this member no longer requires ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.ReflectionEmit flag. (See Security Issues in Reflection Emit.) To use this functionality, your application should target the .NET Framework 3.5 or later.

Applies to

DefineUnmanagedResource(Byte[])

Defines an unmanaged resource for this assembly as an opaque blob of bytes.

public:
 void DefineUnmanagedResource(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ resource);

public void DefineUnmanagedResource (byte[] resource);

member this.DefineUnmanagedResource : byte[] -> unit

Public Sub DefineUnmanagedResource (resource As Byte())

Parameters

resource: Byte[]

The opaque blob of bytes representing the unmanaged resource.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

An unmanaged resource was previously defined.

ArgumentNullException

resource is null.

SecurityException

The caller does not have the required permission.

Examples

The following code sample creates and attaches an array of bytes representing an unmanaged resource to a dynamic assembly, using DefineUnmanagedResource.

/*
   The following program demonstrates the 'DefineResource' and 'DefineUnmanagedResource'
   methods of 'AssemblyBuilder' class. It builds an assembly and a resource file at runtime.
   An unmanaged resource file is also defined for the same resource file. The EmittedTest2.cpp file
   calls the methods of "MyEmitAssembly.dll" assembly and the message is displayed to console.
