IMetaDataEmit Interface
Provides methods to create, modify, and save metadata about the assembly in the currently defined scope. The metadata can be stored in memory or saved to disk.
Methods
Method |
Description |
|---|---|
Updates the current assembly scope with the changes made in the specified pImport. |
|
Creates a definition for a custom attribute with the specified metadata signature, to be attached to the specified object, and gets a token to that custom attribute definition. |
|

|
Creates a definition for a field with the specified metadata signature, and gets a token to that field definition. |
|
Creates a definition for a member of a type that is defined in a module outside the current scope, and gets a token for that reference definition. |
|
Creates a definition for a reference to a type that is defined in a module outside the current scope, and gets a token to that reference definition. |
|
Creates a definition for a reference to a member of a module outside the current scope, and gets a token to that reference definition. |
|
Creates a definition for a method with the specified signature, and returns a token to that method definition. |
|
Creates a definition for implementation of a method inherited from an interface, and returns a token to that method-implementation definition. |
|
Creates the metadata signature for a module with the specified name. |
|
Creates the metadata signature of a type definition and returns an mdTypeDef token for that type, additionally specifying that the defined type is a member of the type referenced by tdEncloser. |
|
Creates a parameter definition with the specified signature for the method referenced by the specified token, and gets a token for that parameter definition. |
|
Creates a definition for a permission set with the specified metadata signature, and gets a token to that permission set definition. |
|
Sets features of the PInvoke signature of the method referenced by the specified token. |
|
Creates a property definition for the specified type, with the specified get and set method accessors, and gets a token to that property definition. |
|
Creates a set of security permissions to attach to the object referenced by the specified token. |
|
Creates a type definition for a common language runtime type, and gets a metadata token to that type definition. |
|
Gets a metadata token for a type that is defined in another module outside the current scope. |
|
Gets a metadata token for the specified literal string. |
|
Destroys the class layout metadata signature for the type referenced by the specified token. |
|
Destroys the PInvoke marshaling metadata signature for the object referenced by the specified token. |
|
Destroys the PInvoke mapping metadata for the object referenced by the specified token. |
|
Deletes the specified token from the current metadata scope. |
|
Gets the estimated binary size of the assembly in the current scope. |
|
Gets a token for the specified metadata signature. |
|
Gets a metadata token for the type with the specified metadata signature. |
|
Adds the specified imported scope to the list of scopes to be merged. |
|
Merges into the current scope all the metadata scopes specified by one or more prior calls to IMetaDataEmit::Merge. |
|
Saves all metadata in the current scope to the file at the specified address. |
|
Saves all metadata in the current scope to the specified area of memory. |
|
Saves all metadata in the current scope to the specified IStream. |
|
Sets or updates the class layout signature of a type defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineTypeDef. |
|
Sets or updates the value of a custom attribute defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineCustomAttribute. |
|
Sets or updates the specified feature of an event defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineEvent. |
|
Sets the PInvoke marshaling information for the field, method return, or method parameter referenced by the specified token. |
|
Sets or updates the default value for the field referenced by the specified field token. |
|
Sets a global variable value for the relative virtual address of the field referenced by the specified token. |
|
Sets the method referenced by the specified IUnknown pointer as a notification callback for token remaps. |
|
Sets or updates the metadata signature of the inherited method implementation referenced by the specified token. |
|
Sets or updates the feature, stored at the specified relative virtual address, of a method defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineMethod. |
|
Updates references to a module defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineModuleRef. |
|
Sets or changes features of a method parameter that was defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineParam. |
|
Establishes that the specified member, as defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineMemberRef, is a member of the specified type, as defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineTypeDef. |
|
Sets or updates features of the metadata signature of a permission set defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefinePermissionSet. |
|
Sets or changes features of a method's PInvoke signature, as defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefinePinvokeMap. |
|
Sets the features stored in metadata for a property defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineProperty. |
|
Sets the relative virtual address of the specified method. |
|
Sets features of a type defined by a prior call to IMetaDataEmit::DefineTypeDef. |
|
Imports an assembly into the current scope and gets a new metadata signature for the merged scope. |
