System.Reflecti on.Emit.TypeBui lder and GetCustomAttrib utes

Hi All,

I've been struggling for a way to retrieve custom attributes I have set
(SetCustomAttri butes) on a class through a TypeBuilder but can't seem
to get around :

"NotSupportedEx ception - This method is not currently supported for
incomplete types. Retrieve the type using GetType and call
GetCustomAttrib utes on the returned Type."

Questions this exception raises are:

1. What constitutes an incomplete type, how do I "complete" it, and
once completed, can I add more stuff to it?

2. Why do I still receive the NotSupportedExc eption even after
following the instructions to "retrieve the type using GetType and call
GetCustomAttrib utes on the return Type."

ey all, I'm in the process of creating a method of tracking whenever an objects properties are changed. Since its not possible to alter existing types I decided to used a proxy generated using Reflection.Emit which inherits from the object needed Person p = (Person)ProxyBuilder.Construct(typeof(Person));

I am using Reflection.Emit to dynamically build a class. A method of the class to be built requires a Parameter of type "Type". But I don't know how to use Emit to pass a call of "typeof()" to the method. The method could look like this: public void myDynamicMethod(Type type){ //.....do something with the Type passed in....... }

Hi, I am reading about Reflection.Emit and I can't really imagine a real situation where I can use this. Can someone give me an example that can't be done without Reflection or an example of something that If done with Reflection.Emit will be a lot faster or something sensible. I will really appreciate your help. Thanks : John Arthur

Hi, I have some code that does reflection on an assembly I load. When I try to get the attributes on one of the methods implemented in the assembly, the MC++ version does not return anything. See code below: Object __gc* memberAttributes = info->GetCustomAttributes(__typeof(EntryPointAttribute), false);

Hi, There must be an easy way to do this ? How do you take a type from the ExecutingAssembly (e.g. a Class with a few properties and constructors) and persist it (Copy) to a different Assembly with ALL its Members WITHOUT having to go through the PropertyBuilder, ConstructorBuilder. I have written the code to 1. Plough through the Assembly looking for the specific Type

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
