Public Function AddTypeDefinition (attributes As TypeAttributes, namespace As StringHandle, name As StringHandle, baseType As EntityHandle, fieldList As FieldDefinitionHandle, methodList As MethodDefinitionHandle) As TypeDefinitionHandle

Parameters

attributes: TypeAttributes

The type attributes.

namespace: StringHandle

The type namespace.

name: StringHandle

The type name.

baseType: EntityHandle

The base type entity handle, which can be one of the following: TypeDefinitionHandle, TypeReferenceHandle, TypeSpecificationHandle, or null.

fieldList: FieldDefinitionHandle

If the type declares fields, set this to the handle of the first one. Otherwise, set this to the handle of the first field declared by the next type definition. If no type defines any fields in the module, System.Reflection.Metadata.Ecma335.MetadataTokens.FieldDefinitionHandle(1).

methodList: MethodDefinitionHandle

If the type declares methods, the handle of the first one. Otherwise, the handle of the first method declared by the next type definition. If no type defines any methods in the module, System.Reflection.Metadata.Ecma335.MetadataTokens.MethodDefinitionHandle(1).

Returns

TypeDefinitionHandle

A handle to the added type definition.
