IMetaDataAssemblyEmit::DefineManifestResource Method

  • Article

Creates a ManifestResource structure containing metadata for the specified manifest resource, and returns the associated metadata token.

HRESULT DefineManifestResource (
    [in] LPCWSTR                szName, 
    [in] mdToken                tkImplementation, 
    [in] DWORD                  dwOffset, 
    [in] DWORD                  dwResourceFlags,
    [out] mdManifestResource    *pmdmr
);

Parameters

  • szName
    [in] The name of the resource.

  • tkImplementation
    [in] A metadata token of type mdtFile or mdtAssemblyRef that maps to the resource provider. A NULL value indicates that the file in which the metadata is embedded is the resource provider.

  • dwOffset
    [in] The offset to the beginning of the resource within the file. For resources in standalone files, this will always be zero. If the resource is embedded in a PE (portable executable) file, this is an offset of the resource BLOB, which starts at the location specified in the cor.h header file.

  • dwResourceFlags
    [in] A bitwise combination of flag values that specify property settings for the resource definition.

  • pmdmr
    [out] A pointer to the returned metadata token.

Remarks

One ManifestResource metadata structure must be defined for each resource that is implemented in each of the assembly's files.

Requirements

Platform: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family

Header: Cor.h

Library: Used as a resource in MsCorEE.dll
