Public Overridable Sub EmitWriteLine (localBuilder As LocalBuilder)

Parameters

localBuilder: LocalBuilder

The local variable whose value is to be written to the console.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The type of localBuilder is TypeBuilder or EnumBuilder, which are not supported.

-or-

There is no overload of WriteLine that accepts the type of localBuilder.

ArgumentNullException

localBuilder is null.
