Chapter 19: Understanding CIL and the Role of Dynamic Assemblies

The goal of the final chapter of this part is twofold. In the first half (more or less), you will examine

the syntax and semantics of CIL in much greater detail than in previous chapters. The remainder of

this chapter covers the role of the System.Reflection.Emit namespace. Using these types, you are

able to build software that is capable of generating .NET assemblies in memory at runtime. For-

mally speaking, assemblies defined and executed in memory are termed dynamic assemblies.
