Defines a global method with the specified name, attributes, calling convention, return type, and parameter types.

public:
 System::Reflection::Emit::MethodBuilder ^ DefineGlobalMethod(System::String ^ name, System::Reflection::MethodAttributes attributes, System::Reflection::CallingConventions callingConvention, Type ^ returnType, cli::array <Type ^> ^ parameterTypes);

public System.Reflection.Emit.MethodBuilder DefineGlobalMethod (string name, System.Reflection.MethodAttributes attributes, System.Reflection.CallingConventions callingConvention, Type? returnType, Type[]? parameterTypes);

public System.Reflection.Emit.MethodBuilder DefineGlobalMethod (string name, System.Reflection.MethodAttributes attributes, System.Reflection.CallingConventions callingConvention, Type returnType, Type[] parameterTypes);

member this.DefineGlobalMethod : string * System.Reflection.MethodAttributes * System.Reflection.CallingConventions * Type * Type[] -> System.Reflection.Emit.MethodBuilder

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

Parameters

name: String

The name of the method. name cannot contain embedded nulls.

attributes: 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.

parameterTypes: Type[]

The types of the method's parameters.

Returns

MethodBuilder

The defined global method.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The method is not static. That is, attributes does not include Static.

-or-

An element in the Type array is null.

ArgumentNullException

name is null.

InvalidOperationException

CreateGlobalFunctions() has been previously called.

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();

AppDomain currentDomain;
AssemblyName myAssemblyName;
MethodBuilder myMethodBuilder=null;
ILGenerator myILGenerator;

// Get the current application domain for the current thread.
currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
myAssemblyName = new 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.Static|MethodAttributes.Public,
           null,null);
myILGenerator = myMethodBuilder.GetILGenerator();
myILGenerator.EmitWriteLine("Hello World from global method.");
myILGenerator.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);
// Fix up the 'TempModule' module .
myModuleBuilder.CreateGlobalFunctions();

Dim currentDomain As AppDomain
Dim myAssemblyName As AssemblyName
Dim myMethodBuilder As MethodBuilder = Nothing
Dim myILGenerator As ILGenerator

' Get the current application domain for the current thread.
currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
myAssemblyName = New 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.Static _
                                          Or MethodAttributes.Public, Nothing, Nothing)
myILGenerator = myMethodBuilder.GetILGenerator()
myILGenerator.EmitWriteLine("Hello World from global method.")
myILGenerator.Emit(OpCodes.Ret)
' Fix up the 'TempModule' module .
myModuleBuilder.CreateGlobalFunctions()

Remarks

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

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.

member this.DefineGlobalMethod : string * System.Reflection.MethodAttributes * System.Reflection.CallingConventions * Type * Type[] * Type[] * Type[] * Type[][] * Type[][] -> System.Reflection.Emit.MethodBuilder

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

Parameters

name: String

The name of the method. name cannot contain embedded null characters.

attributes: 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

MethodBuilder

The defined global method.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The method is not static. That is, attributes does not include Static.

-or-

An element in the Type array is null.

ArgumentNullException

name is null.

InvalidOperationException
