) As TypeBuilder

[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]

    TypeAttributes attr,
    Type parent,
    Type[] interfaces
)

Parameters

  • name
    Type: System.String
    The short name of the type. name cannot contain embedded nulls.
  • parent
    Type: System.Type
    The type that the nested type extends.

    Type: array<System.Type[]
    The interfaces that the nested type implements.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

Remarks

This method can be used to create nested types even after the CreateType method has been called on the enclosing type.

The nested type needs to be complete before you can reflect on it using GetMembers, GetNestedType, or GetNestedTypes.

See the description of CreateType for the order in which nested types and nesting types should be completed.
