IList<CustomAttribute>

Module

Gets the module that defines the member definition or reference.

public ModuleDefinition? Module { get; }

Property Value

ModuleDefinition

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 module.

public Utf8String? Name { get; set; }

Property Value

Utf8String

Remarks

This property corresponds to the Name column in the module definition table.

Methods
