Question

I am currently working with generating dynamic types using Reflection.Emit.

I have the majority of what I need working however need to set default property values in the constructor.

I have so far got this working for Integers and Strings by using for example (reduced for brevity):


ctorDefaultIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldstr, "Hello World");



ctorDefaultIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4, 42);


This works perfectly, my question is how would I go about setting a DateTime value.

Answer 1

Thanks @leppie for future ref here’s the code I ended up using.
For some context this is being passed into another method:

ctorDefaultIL.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I8, dateVal.Ticks);
ctorDefaultIL.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, 
  typeof(DateTime).GetConstructor(new[] { typeof(long) }));
