Was using this solution to convert anonymous types to dictionaries using reflection.emit. Was working fine until I changed to .Net 4.0 from 3.5.
Now, I'm getting the "System.Security.VerificationException: Operation could destabilize the runtime." error.
Converted the anonymously loaded dynamic method to one hosted in a dynamic assembly, saved it, then ran peverify.exe on it to find out what was wrong.
Got: [IL]: Error: [DynamicAssemblyExample.dll : MyDynamicType::MyMethod][offs et 0x0000000D][found ref ('this' ptr) 'MyDynamicType'][expected ref '<>f__AnonymousType1`3[System.String,System.Int32,System.Byte]'] Unexpected type on the stac k. [IL]: Error: [DynamicAssemblyExample.dll : MyDynamicType::MyMethod][offs et 0x0000000D] Method is not visible. 2 Error(s) Verifying DynamicAssemblyExample.dll
The code:
foreach (PropertyInfo property in itemType.GetProperties(attributes).Where(info => info.CanRead))
{
// load Dictionary (prepare for call later)
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc_0);
// load key, i.e. name of the property
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldstr, property.Name);
// load value of property to stack
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);
methIL.EmitCall(OpCodes.Callvirt, property.GetGetMethod(), null);
// perform boxing if necessary
if (property.PropertyType.IsValueType)
{
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Box, property.PropertyType);
}
// stack at this point
// 1. string or null (value)
// 2. string (key)
// 3. dictionary
// ready to call dict.Add(key, value)
methIL.EmitCall(OpCodes.Callvirt, addMethod, null);
}
Is there a way to derefence the pointer to the actual property? Or do I have to cast it somehow? Any pointers?
Regards!
Sorry guys, made a mistake, since the actual dynamic method creates a delegate type that acts on the instance of the anonymous (or non-anonymous) type, the Ldarg_0 code is looking for a something that is not there in this debug implementation.
So I, changed it to OpCodes.Ldnull.
var attributes = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy;
foreach (PropertyInfo property in itemType.GetProperties(attributes).Where(info => info.CanRead))
{
// load Dictionary (prepare for call later)
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc_0);
// load key, i.e. name of the property
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldstr, property.Name);
// load value of property to stack
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldnull);
//methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Castclass, itemType);
methIL.EmitCall(OpCodes.Callvirt, property.GetGetMethod(), null);
// perform boxing if necessary
if (property.PropertyType.IsValueType)
{
methIL.Emit(OpCodes.Box, property.PropertyType);
}
// stack at this point
// 1. string or null (value)
// 2. string (key)
// 3. dictionary
// ready to call dict.Add(key, value)
methIL.EmitCall(OpCodes.Callvirt, addMethod, null);
}
But I still get a method not visible error after peverifying it. Is it that get methods for properties of anonymous types are not visible via reflection?
Just a suggestion, have you tried to rewrite the code that emits IL to actually write to the dictionary - i.e. no Reflection.Emit
? My bet is that the generated IL is not proper in some way, not the code that accesses the anonymous type.
