Dynamic enums

Hi,

I have successfully built an enum dynamically into a dll, but for some reason when I try to use it I get the following error on the console,

error CS0656: The compiler required member `someEnum.value__' could not be found or is inaccessible.

I have searched the internet and can only find the following article

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ld-value-of-dynamic-enum-from-c-sharp-net-2-0

Unfortunately I don't want to use Mono-Cecil to solve it.

The problem seems that the enum created have a field called value__ which is made private by default but it should really be made public to work correctly.

 

I am developing a dialogue tree editor. The user builds the tree then enums are generated for dialogues with more than 1 branch in them. These enums are used to select which dialogue to progress to next. I want to call a function where user can evaluate which branch to progress to next. This function is selectable to call through the editor.

I am developing for pc at the moment but may develop it for other platforms.

The following code is used to generate an enum.

Code (CSharp):

1. EnumBuilder eb = mb.DefineEnum(assemblyName + "." + preDialogueID + node.ID, TypeAttributes.Public, typeof(int));
2.            
3.             int enumIndex = 0;
4.  
5.             for (int i = 0; i < linkToNode.Count; ++i)
6.             {
7.                 DialogueTree.DialogueNode linkNode = linkToNode[i];
8.                 eb.DefineLiteral(preDialogueID + linkNode.ID.ToString(), enumIndex++);
9.             }
10.        
11.             // Create the type and save the assembly.
12.             Type createdType = eb.CreateType();

I can see on the dll created that there are enums defined in them with correct values. But unfortuntately I can't seem to use the enums.

 

Ok I sorted it out. Instead of generating the dll I generate the source code. This is ideal as it will be cross platform.
