DkmClrModuleInstance.GetMetaDataBytesPtr(UInt32) Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Debugger.Clr
Assembly:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Debugger.Engine.dll

Get a pointer to the raw metadata bytes for the given module.

NOTE: This pointer value will become invalid if/when the module is a) unloaded or b) modified. To detect these scenarios: a) Add a data item to the module instance or AppDomain. The pointer will be invalid after the OnClose method is called (when the module instance or AppDomain is unloaded). b) Implement IDkmClrModuleModifiedNotification.

This API was introduced in Visual Studio 14 RTM (DkmApiVersion.VS14RTM).
