Generating Runtime code(structs,classes) in C#

Question

Hello,

I need to generate structs and classes at run time in C#(might be in CLI) managed environment. Suppose I have all data and all data types associated with those data memebers of some class/struct. Now I need to generate structs/classes at runtime and after that I need to map data inside those runtime created structs fields.

e.g I have read data from an XML file i.e BSTR field1,BSTR field2,BSTR field3,BSTR field4,BSTR field5,long field6.

Now I need to create struct at runtime which has sizeof the sum of all fields (which I listed above) and then I can easily access those fields one by one. So that whole complete struct is formed.

How can I solve this problem?

Regards Usman

Answer 1

Dynamically generated typed object may help in your scenario. Vladimir Bodurov has written about it including source code (which I would post here if it was smaller).

Answer 2

System.Reflection.Emit has all the tools you need to make that happen. Start with TypeBuilder.

Answer 3

You need to check CodeDom and Reflection.Emit.
