Thanks Peter.
The example you have is pretty much what I have figured out.
I spend a lot of trial and terror to figure out some of this stuff.
Part of the problem was that I was not seeing any reflected code in
Reflector. I figured out that I needed to set the emitSymbolInfo parameter
on the AssemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule method. Once I figured that out
I was able to use a combination of Reflection and ILDASM to figure out what
opcodes I needed to implement to make properties on the class.
Now I've been able to make a dynamic class with dynamic properties.
Thanks,
Mike
