VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell

Name

ModuleBuilder

Synopsis

This class represents a dynamically created module inside a dynamic assembly. Dynamic modules are created with the AssemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule() method. A dynamic module can be either transient or persistable, which means you can save it to disk as part of a PE file. To create a persistable module, use a version of the AssemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule() method that allows you to specify a filename.

You can use the methods that begin with Define to create types, managed and unmanaged resources, global methods, and PInvoke (global native) methods.
