ModuleBuilder.DefineDocument Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Reflection.Emit

Assembly:

mscorlib.dll

Overloads

DefineDocument(String, Guid, Guid, Guid)

Defines a document for source.

DefineDocument(String, Guid, Guid, Guid)

Defines a document for source.

public:
 System::Diagnostics::SymbolStore::ISymbolDocumentWriter ^ DefineDocument(System::String ^ url, Guid language, Guid languageVendor, Guid documentType);

public System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolDocumentWriter DefineDocument (string url, Guid language, Guid languageVendor, Guid documentType);

member this.DefineDocument : string * Guid * Guid * Guid -> System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolDocumentWriter

Public Function DefineDocument (url As String, language As Guid, languageVendor As Guid, documentType As Guid) As ISymbolDocumentWriter

Parameters

url

String

The URL for the document.

language

Guid

The GUID that identifies the document language. This can be Empty.

languageVendor

Guid

The GUID that identifies the document language vendor. This can be Empty.

documentType

Guid

The GUID that identifies the document type. This can be Empty.

Returns

ISymbolDocumentWriter

The defined document.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

url is null. This is a change from earlier versions of the .NET Framework.

InvalidOperationException

This method is called on a dynamic module that is not a debug module.

Examples

The following code sample illustrates the use of DefineDocument to attach an external symbol document (in this case, a raw IL file) to a dynamic module.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Reflection::Emit;
using namespace System::Resources;
using namespace System::Diagnostics::SymbolStore;
public ref class CodeGenerator
{
private:
   ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder;
   AssemblyBuilder^ myAssemblyBuilder;

public:
   CodeGenerator()
   {
      
      // Get the current application domain for the current thread.
      AppDomain^ currentDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
      AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName;
      myAssemblyName->Name = "TempAssembly";
      
      // Define a dynamic assembly in the current domain.
      myAssemblyBuilder = currentDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly( myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave );
      
      // Define a dynamic module in S"TempAssembly" assembly.
      myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder->DefineDynamicModule( "TempModule", "Resource.mod", true );
      
      // Define a document for source.on 'TempModule' module.
      ISymbolDocumentWriter^ myDocument = myModuleBuilder->DefineDocument( "RTAsm.il", SymDocumentType::Text, SymLanguageType::ILAssembly, SymLanguageVendor::Microsoft );
      Console::WriteLine( "The object representing the defined document is: {0}", myDocument );
   }

};

Remarks

Important

Earlier versions of the .NET Framework throw ArgumentException instead of ArgumentNullException when url is null.
