DynamicMethod with generic type parameters

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to define a DynamicMethod with generic type parameters? The MethodBuilder class has the DefineGenericParameters method. Does the DynamicMethod have a counterpart? For example is it possible to create method with a signature like the one given blow using DynamicMethod?

void T Foo<T>(T a1, int a2)

Thanks

This doesn't appear to be possible: as you've seen DynamicMethod has no DefineGenericParameters method, and it inherits MakeGenericMethod from its MethodInfo base class, which just throws NotSupportedException.

A couple of possibilities:

• Define a whole dynamic assembly using AppDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly
• Do generics yourself, by generating the same DynamicMethod once for each set of type arguments
