IMetaDataAssemblyEmit::DefineManifestResource Method

  • Article

Creates a ManifestResource structure containing metadata for the specified manifest resource, and returns the associated metadata token.

Syntax

HRESULT DefineManifestResource (  
    [in] LPCWSTR                szName,
    [in] mdToken                tkImplementation,
    [in] DWORD                  dwOffset,
    [in] DWORD                  dwResourceFlags,  
    [out] mdManifestResource    *pmdmr  
);

Parameters

szName
[in] The name of the resource.

tkImplementation
[in] A metadata token of type mdtFile or mdtAssemblyRef that maps to the resource provider. A NULL value indicates that the file in which the metadata is embedded is the resource provider.

dwOffset
[in] The offset to the beginning of the resource within the file. For resources in standalone files, this will always be zero. If the resource is embedded in a PE (portable executable) file, this is an offset of the resource BLOB, which starts at the location specified in the cor.h header file.

dwResourceFlags
[in] A bitwise combination of flag values that specify property settings for the resource definition.

pmdmr
[out] A pointer to the returned metadata token.

Remarks

One ManifestResource metadata structure must be defined for each resource that is implemented in each of the assembly's files.

Requirements

Platform: See System Requirements.

Header: Cor.h

Library: Used as a resource in MsCorEE.dll
