In diesem Artikel wird gezeigt, wie ein einfacher generischer Typ mit zwei Typparametern erstellt wird, wie Klasseneinschränkungen, Schnittstelleneinschränkungen und bestimmte Einschränkungen für Typparameter angewendet werden und wie Member erstellt werden, die die Typparameter der Klasse als Parametertypen und Rückgabetypen verwenden.

Wichtig

Eine Methode ist nicht generisch, weil sie zu einem generischen Typ gehört und die Typparameter dieses Typs verwendet. Eine Methode ist nur dann generisch, wenn sie über eine eigene Typparameterliste verfügt. Die meisten Methoden für generische Typen sind nicht generisch, so auch in diesem Beispiel. Ein Beispiel für die Ausgabe einer generischen Methode finden Sie unter Vorgehensweise: Definieren einer generischen Methode mit Reflektionsausgabe.

Definieren eines generischen Typs

Definieren Sie eine dynamische Assembly mit der Bezeichnung GenericEmitExample1. In diesem Beispiel wird die Assembly ausgeführt und auf einem Datenträger gespeichert, daher wird AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave angegeben.

AppDomain^ myDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
AssemblyName^ myAsmName = gcnew AssemblyName( L"GenericEmitExample1" );
AssemblyBuilder^ myAssembly = myDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly( 
    myAsmName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave );

AppDomain myDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
AssemblyName myAsmName = new AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1");
AssemblyBuilder myAssembly =
    myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(myAsmName,
        AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave);

Dim myDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
Dim myAsmName As New AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1")
Dim myAssembly As AssemblyBuilder = myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( _
    myAsmName, _
    AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave)

Definieren Sie ein dynamisches Modul. Eine Assembly besteht aus ausführbaren Modulen. Der Modulname für eine Assembly mit nur einem Modul ist der gleiche wie der Assemblyname, und der Dateiname ist der Modulname plus eine Erweiterung.

ModuleBuilder^ myModule = myAssembly->DefineDynamicModule( 
    myAsmName->Name, String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );

ModuleBuilder myModule =
    myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule(myAsmName.Name,
       myAsmName.Name + ".dll");

Dim myModule As ModuleBuilder = myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule( _
    myAsmName.Name, _
    myAsmName.Name & ".dll")

Definieren Sie eine Klasse. In diesem Beispiel heißt die Klasse Sample.

TypeBuilder^ myType = myModule->DefineType( L"Sample", 
    TypeAttributes::Public );

TypeBuilder myType =
    myModule.DefineType("Sample", TypeAttributes.Public);

Dim myType As TypeBuilder = myModule.DefineType( _
    "Sample", _
    TypeAttributes.Public)

Definieren Sie die generischen Typparameter von Sample, indem Sie ein Array von Zeichenfolgen, das die Namen der Parameter enthält, an die TypeBuilder.DefineGenericParameters-Methode übergeben. Dadurch wird die Klasse zu einem generischen Typ. Der Rückgabewert ist ein Array von GenericTypeParameterBuilder-Objekten, die Typparameter darstellen, die Sie in Ihrem ausgegebenen Code verwenden können.

Im folgenden Code wird Sample zu einem generischen Typ mit den beiden Typparametern TFirst und TSecond gemacht. Damit der Code einfacher zu lesen ist, wird jede GenericTypeParameterBuilder in einer Variable mit dem gleichen Namen wie dem des Typparameters platziert.

array<String^>^typeParamNames = {L"TFirst",L"TSecond"};
array<GenericTypeParameterBuilder^>^typeParams = 
    myType->DefineGenericParameters( typeParamNames );

GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TFirst = typeParams[0];
GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TSecond = typeParams[1];

string[] typeParamNames = {"TFirst", "TSecond"};
GenericTypeParameterBuilder[] typeParams =
    myType.DefineGenericParameters(typeParamNames);

GenericTypeParameterBuilder TFirst = typeParams[0];
GenericTypeParameterBuilder TSecond = typeParams[1];

Dim typeParamNames() As String = {"TFirst", "TSecond"}
Dim typeParams() As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = _
    myType.DefineGenericParameters(typeParamNames)

Dim TFirst As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = typeParams(0)
Dim TSecond As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = typeParams(1)

Fügen Sie den Typparametern besondere Einschränkungen hinzu. In diesem Beispiel wird der Typparameter TFirst auf Verweistypen sowie auf Typen beschränkt, die parameterlose Konstruktoren besitzen.

TFirst->SetGenericParameterAttributes( 
    GenericParameterAttributes::DefaultConstructorConstraint | 
    GenericParameterAttributes::ReferenceTypeConstraint 
);

TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes(
    GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint |
    GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint);

TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes( _
    GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint _
    Or GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint)

Fügen Sie den Typparametern bei Bedarf Klassen- und Schnittstelleneinschränkungen hinzu. In diesem Beispiel wird der Typparameter TFirst auf Typen beschränkt, die von der Basisklasse abgeleitet wurden, die vom in der Variable baseType enthaltenen Type-Objekt dargestellt wird. Diese implementiert die Schnittstellen, dessen Typen in den Variablen interfaceA und interfaceB enthalten sind. Das Codebeispiel enthält die Deklaration und die Zuweisung dieser Variablen.
```
array<Type^>^interfaceTypes = { interfaceA, interfaceB };
TSecond->SetInterfaceConstraints( interfaceTypes );
TSecond->SetBaseTypeConstraint( baseType );
```
```
TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType);
Type[] interfaceTypes = {interfaceA, interfaceB};
TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes);
```
```
TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType)
Dim interfaceTypes() As Type = {interfaceA, interfaceB}
TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes)
```

Definieren Sie ein Feld. In diesem Beispiel wird der Typ des Felds durch den Typparameter TFirst angegeben. GenericTypeParameterBuilder wird von Type abgeleitet; Sie können also generische Typparameter immer dort benutzen, wo ein Typ verwendet werden kann.

FieldBuilder^ exField = 
    myType->DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, 
        FieldAttributes::Private);

FieldBuilder exField =
    myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst,
        FieldAttributes.Private);

Dim exField As FieldBuilder = _
    myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, _
        FieldAttributes.Private)

Definieren Sie eine Methode, die die Typparameter des generischen Typs verwendet. Beachten Sie, dass solche Methoden nicht generisch sind, es sei denn, sie weisen ihre eigenen Typparameterlisten auf. Der folgende Code definiert eine static-Methode (Shared in Visual Basic), die ein Array von TFirst akzeptiert und eine List<TFirst> (List(Of TFirst) in Visual Basic) zurückgibt, die alle Elemente des Arrays enthält. Um diese Methode zu definieren ist es erforderlich, den Typ List<TFirst> zu definieren, indem Sie MakeGenericType auf der generischen Typdefinition List<T> aufrufen. (Die T wird ausgelassen, wenn Sie den typeof-Operator (GetType in Visual Basic) verwenden, um die generische Typdefinition zu erhalten.) Der Parametertyp wird mithilfe der MakeArrayType-Methode erstellt.

Type^ listOf = List::typeid;
Type^ listOfTFirst = listOf->MakeGenericType(TFirst);
array<Type^>^ mParamTypes = { TFirst->MakeArrayType() };

MethodBuilder^ exMethod = 
    myType->DefineMethod("ExampleMethod", 
        MethodAttributes::Public | MethodAttributes::Static, 
        listOfTFirst, 
        mParamTypes);

Type listOf = typeof(List<>);
Type listOfTFirst = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst);
Type[] mParamTypes = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()};

MethodBuilder exMethod =
    myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod",
        MethodAttributes.Public | MethodAttributes.Static,
        listOfTFirst,
        mParamTypes);

Dim listOf As Type = GetType(List(Of ))
Dim listOfTFirst As Type = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst)
Dim mParamTypes() As Type = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()}

Dim exMethod As MethodBuilder = _
    myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod", _
        MethodAttributes.Public Or MethodAttributes.Static, _
        listOfTFirst, _
        mParamTypes)

Geben Sie den Methodentext aus. Der Methodentext enthält drei Opcodes, die das Eingabearray auf den Stapel laden, den List<TFirst>-Konstruktor aufrufen und zurückgeben, der IEnumerable<TFirst> nimmt (was die Eingabeelemente in die Liste lädt), wobei das neue List<T>-Objekt auf dem Stapel gelassen wird. Der schwierige Teil beim Ausgeben dieses Codes ist es, den Konstruktor abzurufen.

Die GetConstructor-Methode wird auf einer GenericTypeParameterBuilder nicht unterstützt, also ist es nicht möglich, den Konstruktor von List<TFirst> direkt zu erhalten. Zunächst ist es erforderlich, den Konstruktor der generischen Typdefinition List<T> abzurufen und dann eine Methode aufzurufen, die ihn in den entsprechenden Konstruktor von List<TFirst> konvertiert.

Der Konstruktor, der für dieses Codebeispiel verwendet wird, nimmt eine IEnumerable<T>. Beachten Sie, dass dies jedoch nicht die generische Typdefinition der generischen Schnittstelle IEnumerable<T> ist. Der Typparameter T von List<T> muss stattdessen mit dem Typparameter T von IEnumerable<T> ersetzt werden. (Dies scheint nur daher verwirrend zu sein, weil beide Typen über Parameter mit der Bezeichnung T verfügen. Darum verwendet dieses Codebeispiel die Namen TFirst und TSecond.) Um den Typ des Konstruktorarguments zu erhalten, beginnen Sie mit der generischen Typdefinition IEnumerable<T>, und rufen Sie MakeGenericType mit dem ersten generischen Typparameter von List<T> auf. Die Liste des Konstruktorarguments muss als Array übergeben werden, wobei in diesem Fall nur ein Argument vorhanden ist.

Hinweis

Die generische Typdefinition wird als IEnumerable<> ausgedrückt, wenn Sie den typeof-Operator in C# verwenden. Alternativ als IEnumerable(Of ), wenn Sie den GetType-Operator in Visual Basic verwenden.

Es ist nun möglich, den Konstruktor von List<T> abzurufen, indem Sie GetConstructor auf der generischen Typdefinition aufrufen. Um diesen Konstruktor in den entsprechenden Konstruktor von List<TFirst> zu konvertieren, übergeben Sie List<TFirst> und den Konstruktor von List<T> an die statische TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(Type, ConstructorInfo)-Methode.
```
ILGenerator^ ilgen = exMethod->GetILGenerator();
     
Type^ ienumOf = IEnumerable::typeid;
Type^ TfromListOf = listOf->GetGenericArguments()[0];
Type^ ienumOfT = ienumOf->MakeGenericType(TfromListOf);
array<Type^>^ ctorArgs = {ienumOfT};

ConstructorInfo^ ctorPrep = listOf->GetConstructor(ctorArgs);
ConstructorInfo^ ctor = 
    TypeBuilder::GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep);

ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Ldarg_0);
ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Newobj, ctor);
ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Ret);
```
```
ILGenerator ilgen = exMethod.GetILGenerator();

Type ienumOf = typeof(IEnumerable<>);
Type TfromListOf = listOf.GetGenericArguments()[0];
Type ienumOfT = ienumOf.MakeGenericType(TfromListOf);
Type[] ctorArgs = {ienumOfT};

ConstructorInfo ctorPrep = listOf.GetConstructor(ctorArgs);
ConstructorInfo ctor =
    TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep);

ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, ctor);
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);
```
```
Dim ilgen As ILGenerator = exMethod.GetILGenerator()

Dim ienumOf As Type = GetType(IEnumerable(Of ))
Dim listOfTParams() As Type = listOf.GetGenericArguments()
Dim TfromListOf As Type = listOfTParams(0)
Dim ienumOfT As Type = ienumOf.MakeGenericType(TfromListOf)
Dim ctorArgs() As Type = {ienumOfT}

Dim ctorPrep As ConstructorInfo = _
    listOf.GetConstructor(ctorArgs)
Dim ctor As ConstructorInfo = _
    TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep)

ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0)
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, ctor)
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ret)
```

Erstellen Sie den Typ, und Speichern Sie die Datei.

Type^ finished = myType->CreateType();
myAssembly->Save( String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );

Type finished = myType.CreateType();
myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name+".dll");

Dim finished As Type = myType.CreateType()
myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name & ".dll")

Rufen Sie die Methode auf. ExampleMethod ist nicht generisch, jedoch ist der zugehörige Typ generisch. Um also eine MethodInfo zu erhalten, die aufgerufen werden kann, ist es erforderlich, einen konstruierten Typ aus der Typdefinition von Sample zu erstellen. Der konstruierte Typ verwendet die Example-Klasse, die die Einschränkungen für TFirst erfüllt, da es sich hierbei um einen Verweistyp handelt und dieser über einen parameterlosen Standardkonstruktor verfügt, sowie die ExampleDerived-Klasse, die die Einschränkungen für TSecond erfüllt. (Den Code für ExampleDerived finden Sie im Beispielcodeabschnitt.) Diese beiden Typen werden an MakeGenericType übergeben, um den konstruierten Typ zu erstellen. Die MethodInfo wird dann mithilfe der GetMethod-Methode abgerufen.
```
array<Type^>^ typeArgs = 
    { Example::typeid, ExampleDerived::typeid };
Type^ constructed = finished->MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
MethodInfo^ mi = constructed->GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
```
```
Type[] typeArgs = {typeof(Example), typeof(ExampleDerived)};
Type constructed = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
MethodInfo mi = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
```
```
Dim typeArgs() As Type = _
    {GetType(Example), GetType(ExampleDerived)}
Dim constructed As Type = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs)
Dim mi As MethodInfo = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod")
```

Der folgende Code erstellt ein Array von Example-Objekten, platziert dieses Array in einem Array des Typs Object, der die Argumente der aufzurufenden Methode darstellt, und übergibt sie an die Invoke(Object, Object[])-Methode. Das erste Argument der Invoke-Methode ist ein NULL-Verweis, da die Methode static ist.

array<Example^>^ input = { gcnew Example(), gcnew Example() };
array<Object^>^ arguments = { input };

List<Example^>^ listX = 
    (List<Example^>^) mi->Invoke(nullptr, arguments);

Console::WriteLine(
    "\nThere are {0} elements in the List<Example>.", 
    listX->Count);

Example[] input = {new Example(), new Example()};
object[] arguments = {input};

List<Example> listX =
    (List<Example>) mi.Invoke(null, arguments);

Console.WriteLine(
    "\nThere are {0} elements in the List<Example>.",
    listX.Count);

Dim input() As Example = {New Example(), New Example()}
Dim arguments() As Object = {input}

Dim listX As List(Of Example) = mi.Invoke(Nothing, arguments)

Console.WriteLine(vbLf & _
    "There are {0} elements in the List(Of Example).", _
    listX.Count _
)

Beispiel

Das folgende Codebeispiel definiert eine Klasse namens Sample, zusammen mit einer Basisklasse und zwei Schnittstellen. Das Programm definiert zwei generische Typparameter für Sample und wandelt sie in einen generischen Typ um. Typparameter sind das Einzige, das einen Typ generisch macht. Das Programm stellt dies dar, indem eine Testnachricht vor und nach der Definition der Typparameter angezeigt wird.

Der Typparameter TSecond wird auch zur Darstellung von Klassen- und Schnittstelleneinschränkungen verwendet. Hierzu wird die Basisklasse und die Schnittstellen verwendet, und der Typparameter TFirst wird zur Darstellung besonderer Einschränkungen verwendet.

Das Codebeispiel definiert ein Feld und eine Methode, indem die Typparameter der Klasse für den Feldtyp und für den Parameter sowie den Rückgabetyp der Methode verwendet wird.

Nachdem die Sample-Klasse erstellt wurde, wird die Methode aufgerufen.

Das Programm enthält eine Methode, die Informationen über einen generischen Typ auflistet, sowie eine Methode, die die besonderen Einschränkungen für einen Typparameter auflistet. Diese Methoden werden zur Darstellung von Informationen über die abgeschlossene Sample-Klasse verwendet.

Das Programm speichert die abgeschlossenen Module als GenericEmitExample1.dll auf dem Datenträger, damit Sie sie mit Ildasm.exe (IL-Disassembler) öffnen und die CIL für die Sample-Klasse untersuchen können.

   // calling a method that converts it to the corresponding

   // The constructor needed here is the one that takes an

' This code example produces the following output:
'
'Type 'Sample' is generic: False
'Type 'Sample' is generic: True
'
'There are 2 elements in the List(Of Example).
'
'Listing 2 type parameters for type 'Sample[TFirst,TSecond]'.
'
'Type parameter TFirst:
'    ReferenceTypeConstraint
'    DefaultConstructorConstraint
'
'Type parameter TSecond:
'    Interface constraint: IExampleA
'    Interface constraint: IExampleB
'    Base type constraint: ExampleBase
