Examples

The following code example shows how to define and use a dynamic assembly. The example assembly contains one type, MyDynamicType, that has a private field, a property that gets and sets the private field, constructors that initialize the private field, and a method that multiplies a user-supplied number by the private field value and returns the result.

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

void main()
{
    // This code creates an assembly that contains one type,
    // named "MyDynamicType", that has a private field, a property
    // that gets and sets the private field, constructors that
    // initialize the private field, and a method that multiplies
    // a user-supplied number by the private field value and returns
    // the result. In Visual C++ the type might look like this:
    /*
      public ref class MyDynamicType
      {
      private:
          int m_number;

      public:

          MyDynamicType(int initNumber) : m_number(initNumber) {};
      
          property int Number
          {
              int get() { return m_number; }
