CompilerServices.ITypeProvider Interface (F#)

  • Article

Type providers implement this interface in order to be recognized by the compiler as an F# type provider. The implementation of this interface determines the public interface and behavior of the type provider. For more information, see Type Providers.

GetInvokerExpression : MethodBase * ParameterExpression [] -> Expression

Called by the compiler to ask for an Expression tree to replace the given MethodBase with.

GetGeneratedAssemblyContents : System.Reflection.Assembly -> byte []

Get the physical contents of the given logical provided assembly.

GetNamespaces : unit -> IProvidedNamespace []

Namespace name that this type provider injects types into.

GetStaticParameters : Type -> ParameterInfo []

Get the static parameters for a provided type.

Invalidate : IEvent<EventHandler, EventArgs>
