Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _

)

Parameters

  • returnType

  • parameterTypes
    Type: array<System.Type[]
    The types of the arguments of the method, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the method has no arguments.

Remarks

This overload creates a signature with a standard calling convention.

To create a method signature with custom modifiers, use the GetMethodSigHelper(Module, CallingConventions, Type) method overload and then use the AddArgument(Type, array<Type[], array<Type[]) or AddArguments(array<Type[], array<array<Type[][], array<array<Type[][]) method overloads to add arguments with custom modifiers.
