Syntax

public class SignatureContext

Remarks

Some ECMA-335 signature elements, such as class references or generic parameters, require additional data to be mapped into the concrete types. Signature context holds such data, for example, a metadata token resolver or a generic context.

Properties

GenericContext

Gets a generic context object

Declaration

public GenericContext GenericContext { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
GenericContext

GenericDefinition

Gets a generic method definition, if the signature is for a generic method instantiation

Declaration

public MethodBase GenericDefinition { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Reflection.MethodBase

TokenResolver

Gets the token resolver object

Declaration

public ITokenResolver TokenResolver { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ITokenResolver

Methods

Create(ITokenResolver, GenericContext, MethodBase)

Creates a new signature context instance

Declaration

public static SignatureContext Create(ITokenResolver tokenResolver, GenericContext genericContext, MethodBase genericDefinition)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ITokenResolver	tokenResolver	Metadata tokens resolver
GenericContext	genericContext	Generic context
System.Reflection.MethodBase	genericDefinition	Generic method definition, if the signature is for a generic method instantiation, or null otherwise

Returns

Type	Description
SignatureContext

Remarks

The genericDefinition parameter only needs to be specified when reading a signature of generic method instantiation (from MethodSpec metadata table), NOT for every generic method signature.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentNullException	Token resolver is null
