Methods

	Name	Description
	AddArgument(Type)	Adds an argument to the signature.
	AddArgument(Type, Boolean)	Adds an argument of the specified type to the signature, specifying whether the argument is pinned.
	AddArgument(Type, array<Type[], array<Type[])	Adds an argument to the signature, with the specified custom modifiers.
	AddArguments	Adds a set of arguments to the signature, with the specified custom modifiers.
	AddSentinel	Marks the end of a vararg fixed part. This is only used if the caller is creating a vararg signature call site.
	Equals	Checks if this instance is equal to the given object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetFieldSigHelper	Returns a signature helper for a field.
	GetHashCode	Creates and returns a hash code for this instance. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().)
	GetLocalVarSigHelper()	Returns a signature helper for a local variable.
	GetLocalVarSigHelper(Module)	Returns a signature helper for a local variable.
	GetMethodSigHelper(CallingConvention, Type)	Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's unmanaged calling convention and return type.
	GetMethodSigHelper(CallingConventions, Type)	Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's calling convention and return type.
	GetMethodSigHelper(Module, CallingConventions, Type)	Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's module, calling convention, and return type.
	GetMethodSigHelper(Module, CallingConvention, Type)	Returns a signature helper for a method given the method's module, unmanaged calling convention, and return type.
	GetMethodSigHelper(Module, Type, array<Type[])	Returns a signature helper for a method with a standard calling convention, given the method's module, return type, and argument types.
	GetPropertySigHelper(Module, Type, array<Type[])	Returns a signature helper for a property, given the dynamic module that contains the property, the property type, and the property arguments.
	GetPropertySigHelper(Module, Type, array<Type[], array<Type[], array<Type[], array<array<Type[][], array<array<Type[][])	Returns a signature helper for a property, given the dynamic module that contains the property, the property type, the property arguments, and custom modifiers for the return type and arguments.
	GetSignature	Adds the end token to the signature and marks the signature as finished, so no further tokens can be added.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string representing the signature arguments. (Overrides Object.ToString().)

Remarks

Use the SignatureHelper class to create a signature blob that can be inserted into a Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) stream. For information on signature blobs and signature metadata, see the online ECMA Partition II documentation.
