ModuleBuilder.DefineEnum(String, TypeAttributes, Type) Method

Definition

Defines an enumeration type that is a value type with a single non-static field called value__ of the specified type.

public:
 System::Reflection::Emit::EnumBuilder ^ DefineEnum(System::String ^ name, System::Reflection::TypeAttributes visibility, Type ^ underlyingType);
public System.Reflection.Emit.EnumBuilder DefineEnum (string name, System.Reflection.TypeAttributes visibility, Type underlyingType);
member this.DefineEnum : string * System.Reflection.TypeAttributes * Type -> System.Reflection.Emit.EnumBuilder
Public Function DefineEnum (name As String, visibility As TypeAttributes, underlyingType As Type) As EnumBuilder

Parameters

name
String

The full path of the enumeration type. name cannot contain embedded nulls.

visibility
TypeAttributes

The type attributes for the enumeration. The attributes are any bits defined by VisibilityMask.

underlyingType
Type

The underlying type for the enumeration. This must be a built-in integer type.

Returns

The defined enumeration.

Exceptions

Attributes other than visibility attributes are provided.

-or-

An enumeration with the given name exists in the parent assembly of this module.

-or-

The visibility attributes do not match the scope of the enumeration. For example, NestedPublic is specified for visibility, but the enumeration is not a nested type.

name is null.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of DefineEnum to implement an enumeration class in a dynamic module. The example defines an enumeration named Elevation that has an underlying type of Int32, and creates two elements: Low, with a value of 0, and High, with a value of 1. After the type has been created, the assembly is saved with the name TempAssembly.dll. You can use the Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler) to examine the contents of this assembly.

Note

Prior to the .NET Framework version 2.0, this code example does not produce a correct enumeration.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Reflection::Emit;

void main()
{
    // Get the current application domain for the current thread.
    AppDomain^ currentDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
      
    // Create a dynamic assembly in the current application domain, 
    // and allow it to be executed and saved to disk.
    AssemblyName^ aName = gcnew AssemblyName("TempAssembly");
    AssemblyBuilder^ ab = currentDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly( 
            aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave);
      
    // Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly. For a single-
    // module assembly, the module has the same name as the assembly.
    ModuleBuilder^ mb = 
            ab->DefineDynamicModule(aName->Name, aName->Name + ".dll");
      
    // Define a public enumeration with the name "Elevation" and an 
    // underlying type of Int32.
    EnumBuilder^ eb = 
            mb->DefineEnum("Elevation", TypeAttributes::Public, int::typeid);
      
    // Define two members, "High" and "Low".
    eb->DefineLiteral("Low", (Object^) 0);
    eb->DefineLiteral("High", 1);

    // Create the type and save the assembly.
    Type^ finished = eb->CreateType();
    ab->Save(aName->Name + ".dll");

    for each (Object^ o in Enum::GetValues(finished))
    {
        Console::WriteLine("{0}.{1} = {2}", finished, o, (int)o);
    }
}

Remarks

The defined enum is a derived class of Enum. The value__ field has Private and SpecialName attributes set.

For more information about the built-in integer types that can be specified as the underlying types of enumerations, see Class Library Overview.

Note

In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, it is necessary to define enumerations using TypeBuilder because EnumBuilder emits enumerations whose elements are of type Int32 instead of the enumeration type. In the .NET Framework version 2.0, EnumBuilder emits enumerations whose elements have the correct type.

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.
