The Microsoft C++ compiler modifies all native C++ types in method parameters and return types that have this modifier to trigger this behavior in the marshaling code.</para><para>Compilers emit custom modifiers within metadata to change the way that the just-in-time (JIT) compiler handles values when the default behavior is not appropriate.  When the JIT compiler encounters a custom modifier, it handles the value in the way that the modifier specifies.  Compilers can apply custom modifiers to methods, parameters, and return values.  The JIT compiler must respond to required modifiers but can ignore optional modifiers.  </para><para>You can emit custom modifiers into metadata using one of the following techniques:</para><list type="bullet"><item><para>Using methods in the <see cref="T:System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder" /> class such as <see cref="Overload:System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.DefineMethod" />, <see cref="Overload:System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.DefineField" />, <see cref="Overload:System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.DefineConstructor" />, and <see cref="Overload:System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder.DefineProperty" />.</para></item><item><para>Generating a Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instruction file that contains calls to modopt and modreq, and assembling the file with the <format type="text/html"><a href="4ca3a4f0-4400-47ce-8936-8e219961c76f">MSIL Assembler (Ilasm.exe)</a></format>.</para></item><item><para>Using the unmanaged reflection API.</para></item></list></remarks><summary><attribution license="cc4" from="Microsoft" modified="false" /><para>Indicates that any copying of values of this type must use the copy constructor provided by the type.
