TypeBuilder.MakeArrayType Method

Definition

Returns a Type object that represents an array of the current type.

Overloads

MakeArrayType(Int32)

Returns a Type object that represents an array of the current type, with the specified number of dimensions.

MakeArrayType()

Returns a Type object that represents a one-dimensional array of the current type, with a lower bound of zero.

MakeArrayType(Int32)

Source:
TypeBuilder.cs
Source:
TypeBuilder.cs
Source:
TypeBuilder.cs

Returns a Type object that represents an array of the current type, with the specified number of dimensions.

public:
 override Type ^ MakeArrayType(int rank);
public override Type MakeArrayType (int rank);
override this.MakeArrayType : int -> Type
Public Overrides Function MakeArrayType (rank As Integer) As Type

Parameters

rank
Int32

The number of dimensions for the array.

Returns

A Type object that represents a one-dimensional array of the current type.

Exceptions

rank is not a valid array dimension.

Examples

The following code example creates a dynamic module, an abstract type named Sample, and an abstract method named TestMethod. TestMethod takes a ref parameter (ByRef in Visual Basic) of type Sample, a pointer to type Sample, and an array of type Sample. It returns a two-dimensional array of type Sample. The code example saves the dynamic module to disk, so you can examine it with the Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler).
