Constructors

MethodSpecification(IMethodDefOrRef?, GenericInstanceMethodSignature?)

Creates a new reference to a generic instantiation of a method.

public MethodSpecification(IMethodDefOrRef? method, GenericInstanceMethodSignature? signature)

Parameters

method IMethodDefOrRef

The method to instantiate.

signature GenericInstanceMethodSignature

The instantiation signature.

MethodSpecification(MetadataToken)

Creates a new empty method specification.

protected MethodSpecification(MetadataToken token)

Parameters

token MetadataToken

The token of the specification.

Properties

CustomAttributes

Gets a collection of custom attributes assigned to this member.

public IList<CustomAttribute> CustomAttributes { get; }

Property Value

IList<CustomAttribute>

DeclaringType

Gets the declaring type of the method.

public ITypeDefOrRef? DeclaringType { get; }

Property Value

ITypeDefOrRef

FullName

Gets the full name of the object.

public string FullName { get; }

Property Value

string

Method

Gets or sets the method that was instantiated.

public IMethodDefOrRef? Method { get; set; }

Property Value

IMethodDefOrRef

Module

Gets the module that defines the member definition or reference.

public ModuleDefinition? Module { get; }

Property Value

ModuleDefinition

Remarks

For member references, this does not obtain the module definition that the member is defined in. Rather, it obtains the module definition that references this reference.

Name

Gets or sets the name of the method specification.

public Utf8String Name { get; }

Property Value

Utf8String

Signature

Gets or sets the generic instantiation of the method.

public GenericInstanceMethodSignature? Signature { get; set; }

Property Value

GenericInstanceMethodSignature

Methods

GetCustomAttributes()

Obtains the list of custom attributes assigned to the member.

protected virtual IList<CustomAttribute> GetCustomAttributes()

Returns

IList<CustomAttribute>

The attributes

Remarks

This method is called upon initialization of the CustomAttributes property.

GetMethod()

Obtains the instantiated method.

protected virtual IMethodDefOrRef? GetMethod()

Returns

IMethodDefOrRef

The method.

Remarks

This method is called upon initialization of the Method property.

GetSignature()

Obtains the method instantiation signature.

protected virtual GenericInstanceMethodSignature? GetSignature()

Returns

GenericInstanceMethodSignature

The signature.

Remarks

This method is called upon initialization of the Signature property.

ImportWith(ReferenceImporter)

Imports the method specification using the provided reference importer.

public MethodSpecification ImportWith(ReferenceImporter importer)

Parameters

importer ReferenceImporter

The reference importer to use.

Returns

MethodSpecification

The imported method specification.

IsImportedInModule(ModuleDefinition)

Determines whether the descriptor of the member is fully imported in the provided module.

public bool IsImportedInModule(ModuleDefinition module)

Parameters

module ModuleDefinition

The module that is supposed to import the member.

Returns

bool

true if the descriptor of the member is fully imported by the module, false otherwise.

Remarks

This method verifies all references in the descriptor of the member only. It does not verify any additional data or contents (such as a method body) associated to the member.

Resolve()

Resolves the reference to a method definition.

public MethodDefinition? Resolve()

Returns

MethodDefinition

The resolved method definition, or null if the method could not be resolved.

Remarks

This method can only be invoked if the reference was added to a module.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

public override string ToString()

Returns

string

A string that represents the current object.
