Constructors

GenericParameterSignature(ModuleDefinition?, GenericParameterType, int)

Creates a new reference to a generic parameter.

public GenericParameterSignature(ModuleDefinition? module, GenericParameterType parameterType, int index)

Parameters

module ModuleDefinition

The module in which this generic parameter signature resides.

parameterType GenericParameterType

Indicates the parameter signature is declared by a type or a method.

index int

The index of the referenced parameter.

GenericParameterSignature(GenericParameterType, int)

Creates a new reference to a generic parameter.

public GenericParameterSignature(GenericParameterType parameterType, int index)

Parameters

parameterType GenericParameterType

Indicates the parameter signature is declared by a type or a method.

index int

The index of the referenced parameter.

Index

public override bool IsValueType { get; }

Property Value

bool

Name

Methods

AcceptVisitor<TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TResult>)

Visit the current type signature using the provided visitor.

public override TResult AcceptVisitor<TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TResult> visitor)

Parameters

visitor ITypeSignatureVisitor<TResult>

The visitor to accept.

Returns

TResult

The result the visitor produced after visiting this type signature.

Type Parameters

TResult

The type of result the visitor produces.

AcceptVisitor<TState, TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TState, TResult>, TState)

Visit the current type signature using the provided visitor.

public override TResult AcceptVisitor<TState, TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TState, TResult> visitor, TState state)

Parameters

visitor ITypeSignatureVisitor<TState, TResult>

The visitor to accept.

state TState

Additional state.

Returns

TResult

The result the visitor produced after visiting this type signature.

Type Parameters

TState

The type of additional state.

TResult

The type of result the visitor produces.

GetUnderlyingTypeDefOrRef()

Gets the underlying base type signature, without any extra adornments.

public override ITypeDefOrRef? GetUnderlyingTypeDefOrRef()

Returns

ITypeDefOrRef

The base signature.

Remarks

This is not to be confused with GetUnderlyingType(), which may resolve enum types to their underlying type representation.

IsImportedInModule(ModuleDefinition)

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

public override 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 type definition.

public override TypeDefinition? Resolve()

Returns

TypeDefinition

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

Remarks

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

WriteContents(in BlobSerializationContext)

Serializes the blob (without extra data) to an output stream.

protected override void WriteContents(in BlobSerializationContext context)

Parameters

context BlobSerializationContext
