VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell

MethodRental

Synopsis

This class can be used to swap a method “body” (the MSIL code inside the method). To do this, use the shared SwapMethodBody() method and specify the target Type, the token of the method that should receive the new body, a pointer to the new method, the size of the new method, and a flag specifying the type of compilation using the appropriate field constant (either JitImmediate or JitOnDemand). The IntPtr to the new method body should point to an array of bytes that contain the IL for the method’s header and body.
