Remarks

In Silverlight, you can create only one dynamic module per dynamic assembly.

To get an instance of ModuleBuilder, use the AssemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule method.

Examples

The following sample demonstrates the use of ModuleBuilder to create a dynamic module. The ModuleBuilder is created by calling DefineDynamicModule in AssemblyBuilder.

Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Reflection.Emit

Public Class Example

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

      ' Get the current application domain for the current thread.
      Dim myCurrentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
      Dim myAssemblyName As New AssemblyName("TempAssembly")

      ' Define a dynamic assembly in the current application domain.
      Dim myAssemblyBuilder As AssemblyBuilder = _
               myCurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run)

      ' Define a dynamic module in this assembly.
      Dim myModuleBuilder As ModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule("TempModule")

      ' Define a runtime class with specified name and attributes.
      Dim myTypeBuilder As TypeBuilder = _
               myModuleBuilder.DefineType("TempClass", TypeAttributes.Public)

      ' Add 'Greeting' field to the class, with the specified attribute and type.
      Dim greetingField As FieldBuilder = _
               myTypeBuilder.DefineField("Greeting", GetType(String), FieldAttributes.Public)

      Dim myMethodArgs As Type() = {GetType(String)}

      ' Add 'MyMethod' method to the class, with the specified attribute and signature.
      Dim myMethod As MethodBuilder = _
               myTypeBuilder.DefineMethod("MyMethod", MethodAttributes.Public, _
               CallingConventions.Standard, GetType(String), myMethodArgs)

      ' Method to concatenate two strings.
      Dim stringConcat As MethodInfo = GetType(String).GetMethod("Concat", _
         BindingFlags.Static Or BindingFlags.Public, Type.DefaultBinder, _
         New Type() { GetType(String), GetType(String) }, _
         Nothing)

      Dim methodIL As ILGenerator = myMethod.GetILGenerator()
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0)
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1)
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Stfld, greetingField)
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldstr, "Hello, ")
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1)
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Call, stringConcat)
      methodIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ret)

      myTypeBuilder.CreateType()

      Dim myType As Type = myTypeBuilder.CreateType()
      Dim myMethodInfo As MethodInfo = myType.GetMethod("MyMethod")

      ' Get the token used to identify the method within this module.
      Dim myMethodToken As MethodToken = myModuleBuilder.GetMethodToken(myMethodInfo)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Token used to identify the method of 'myType'" + _
                        " within the module is {0:x}", myMethodToken.Token) _
                        & vbCrLf

      Dim args As Object() = {"World!"}
      Dim myObject As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(myType)
      outputBlock.Text &= "Return value from MyMethod(""World!""): " & _
         myMethodInfo.Invoke(myObject, args)
   End Sub 
End Class

'Token used to identify the method of 'myType' within the module is 6000001
