EnumBuilder.DefineLiteral Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Defines the named static field in an enumeration type with the specified constant value.

Namespace:  System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function DefineLiteral ( _
    literalName As String, _
    literalValue As Object _
) As FieldBuilder
public FieldBuilder DefineLiteral(
    string literalName,
    Object literalValue
)

Parameters

  • literalValue
    Type: System.Object
    The constant value of the literal.

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection.Emit.FieldBuilder
The defined field.

Remarks

The defined field will have the field attributes Public, Static, and Literal set.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the construction of an enumeration within a dynamic assembly, using EnumBuilder. The example defines an enumeration named Elevation, with an underlying type of Int32, and creates two elements: Low, with a value of 0, and High, with a value of 1.

Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Reflection.Emit

Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      ' Get the current application domain for the current thread.
      Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain

      ' Create a dynamic assembly in the current application domain, 
      ' and allow it to be executed.
      Dim aName As AssemblyName = New AssemblyName("TempAssembly")
      Dim ab As AssemblyBuilder = currentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( _
          aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run)

      ' Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly. The module can
      ' have the same name as the assembly.
      Dim mb As ModuleBuilder = _
          ab.DefineDynamicModule(aName.Name)

      ' Define a public enumeration with the name "Elevation" and an 
      ' underlying type of Integer.
      Dim eb As EnumBuilder = _
          mb.DefineEnum("Elevation", TypeAttributes.Public, GetType(Integer))

      ' Define two members, "High" and "Low".
      eb.DefineLiteral("Low", 0)
      eb.DefineLiteral("High", 1)

      ' Create the type.
      Dim finished As Type = eb.CreateType()

      For Each fi As FieldInfo in finished.GetFields()
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0}.{1} = {2}" & vbCrLf, _
            finished.Name, fi.Name, fi.GetRawConstantValue())
      Next
   End Sub
End Class

'
'Elevation.Low = 0
'Elevation.High = 1

      AssemblyBuilder ab = currentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(
          aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run);

      // Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly. The module can
      // have the same name as the assembly.
      ModuleBuilder mb = ab.DefineDynamicModule(aName.Name);

      // Define a public enumeration with the name "Elevation" and an 
      // underlying type of Integer.
      EnumBuilder eb = mb.DefineEnum("Elevation", TypeAttributes.Public, typeof(int));

      // Define two members, "High" and "Low".
      eb.DefineLiteral("Low", 0);
      eb.DefineLiteral("High", 1);

      // Create the type.
      Type finished = eb.CreateType();

      foreach (FieldInfo fi in finished.GetFields())
      {
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0}.{1} = {2}\n", 
            finished.Name, fi.Name, fi.GetRawConstantValue());
      }
   }
}
