Exceptions

Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

The constructor is a default constructor that was created by using the TypeBuilder.DefineDefaultConstructor method.

-or-

The constructor has MethodAttributes or MethodImplAttributes flags indicating that it should not have a method body.

Remarks

The runtime generates the code for default (parameterless) constructors that are created by using the TypeBuilder.DefineDefaultConstructor method. An exception is thrown if you try to obtain an ILGenerator for such a constructor.
