Struct DotNetEntryPoint

Namespace

AsmResolver.PE.DotNet

Assembly

AsmResolver.PE.dll

Represents a reference to an entry point in the .NET Data Directory. This is either a metadata token to a method or file defined in the .NET metadata tables, or a virtual address to native code located in a PE section.

object.ReferenceEquals(object, object)

Constructors

DotNetEntryPoint(ISegmentReference)

Constructs a new native entry point reference.

public DotNetEntryPoint(ISegmentReference nativeCode)

Parameters

nativeCode ISegmentReference

A reference to the native code implementing the entry point.

DotNetEntryPoint(MetadataToken)

Constructs a new managed entry point reference.

public DotNetEntryPoint(MetadataToken token)

Parameters

token MetadataToken

The metadata token of the managed entry point. This must be either a method or a file token.

Properties

IsManaged

Gets a value indicating the entry point is present in the form of a metadata token.

public bool IsManaged { get; }

Property Value

bool

IsNative

Gets a value indicating the entry point is present in the form of a reference to native code.

public bool IsNative { get; }

Property Value

bool

IsPresent

Gets a value indicating whether an entry point is present or not.

public bool IsPresent { get; }

Property Value

bool

MetadataToken

When the entry point is managed, gets the metadata token of the method or file implementing the managed entry point.

public MetadataToken MetadataToken { get; }

Property Value

MetadataToken

NativeCode

When the entry point is native, gets the reference to the beginning of the native code implementing the native entry point.

public ISegmentReference? NativeCode { get; }

Property Value

ISegmentReference

Methods

GetRawValue()

Gets the raw reference value as it would be written in the .NET data directory.

public uint GetRawValue()

Returns

uint

Operators

implicit operator uint(DotNetEntryPoint)

Gets the raw reference value of a .NET entry point reference as it would be written in the .NET data directory.

public static implicit operator uint(DotNetEntryPoint value)

Parameters

value DotNetEntryPoint

The entry point reference.

Returns

uint

The raw reference value.

implicit operator DotNetEntryPoint(MetadataToken)

Constructs a new managed entry point reference.

public static implicit operator DotNetEntryPoint(MetadataToken token)

Parameters

token MetadataToken

The metadata token of the managed entry point. This must be either a method or a file token.

Returns

DotNetEntryPoint

implicit operator DotNetEntryPoint(SegmentReference)

Constructs a new native entry point reference.

public static implicit operator DotNetEntryPoint(SegmentReference nativeCode)

Parameters

nativeCode SegmentReference

A reference to the native code implementing the entry point.

Returns

DotNetEntryPoint

implicit operator DotNetEntryPoint(uint)

Constructs a new managed or native entry point reference.

[Obsolete("Construct entry points via a MetadataToken or an ISegmentReference instead.")]
public static implicit operator DotNetEntryPoint(uint value)

Parameters

value uint

Returns

DotNetEntryPoint

The constructed entry point reference.

Remarks

This method is added for backwards source compatibility, and should only be used when absolutely necessary. When the input value resembles a valid metadata token, that is, it is of the form 0x06XXXXXX or 0x26XXXXXX, a managed entry point will be constructed. In any other case, the passed in integer will be interpreted as a relative virtual address pointing to native code instead.
