Parameters
- name
Type: System.String
The name of the property. name cannot contain embedded nulls.
- attributes
Type: System.Reflection.PropertyAttributes
The attributes of the property.
- returnType
Type: System.Type
The return type of the property.
- returnTypeRequiredCustomModifiers
Type: array<System.Type[]
An array of types representing the required custom modifiers, such as IsConst, for the return type of the property. If the return type has no required custom modifiers, specify nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
- returnTypeOptionalCustomModifiers
Type: array<System.Type[]
An array of types representing the optional custom modifiers, such as IsConst, for the return type of the property. If the return type has no optional custom modifiers, specify nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
- parameterTypes
Type: array<System.Type[]
The types of the parameters of the property.
- parameterTypeRequiredCustomModifiers
Type: array<array<System.Type[][]
An array of arrays of types. Each array of types represents the required custom modifiers for the corresponding parameter, such as IsConst. If a particular parameter has no required custom modifiers, specify nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) instead of an array of types. If none of the parameters have required custom modifiers, specify nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) instead of an array of arrays.
- parameterTypeOptionalCustomModifiers
Type: array<array<System.Type[][]
An array of arrays of types. Each array of types represents the optional custom modifiers for the corresponding parameter, such as IsConst. If a particular parameter has no optional custom modifiers, specify nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) instead of an array of types. If none of the parameters have optional custom modifiers, specify nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) instead of an array of arrays.
Return Value
Type: System.Reflection.Emit.PropertyBuilder
The defined property.
Exceptions

ArgumentNullException | name is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) -or- Any of the elements of the parameterTypes array is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) |
InvalidOperationException | The type was previously created using CreateType. |
Remarks
This overload is provided for designers of managed compilers.
