IMetaDataImport::FindMemberRef method (rometadataapi.h)

Gets a pointer to the MemberRef token for the member reference that is enclosed by the specified Type and that has the specified name and metadata signature.

Syntax

HRESULT FindMemberRef(
  [in]  mdTypeRef       tkTypeRef,
  [in]  LPCWSTR         szName,
  [in]  PCCOR_SIGNATURE pvSigBlob,
  [in]  ULONG           cbSigBlob,
  [out] mdMemberRef     *pMemberRef
);

Parameters

[in] tkTypeRef

The TypeRef token for the class or interface that encloses the member reference to search for. If this value is mdTokenNil, the lookup is done for a global variable or a global-function reference.

[in] szName

The name of the member reference to search for.

[in] pvSigBlob

A pointer to the binary metadata signature of the member reference.

[in] cbSigBlob

The size in bytes of pvSigBlob.

[out] pMemberRef

A pointer to the matching MemberRef token.

Return value

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

You specify the member using its enclosing class or interface (tkTypeRef), its name (szName), and optionally its signature (pvSigBlob).

The signature passed to FindMemberRef must have been generated in the current scope, because signatures are bound to a particular scope. A signature can embed a token that identifies the enclosing class or value type. The token is an index into the local TypeDef table. You cannot build a run-time signature outside the context of the current scope and use that signature as input to FindMemberRef.

FindMemberRef finds only member references that were defined directly in the class or interface; it does not find inherited member references.
