This class represents a dynamically created constructor method. Create a constructor and add it to a type using either the TypeBuilder.DefineConstructor( ) method or the TypeBuilder.DefineDefaultConstructor( ) method. The default constructor accepts no parameters, and just calls the constructor of the parent class. You cannot use the ILGenerator class with a default constructor, because its code is provided by the runtime. Generally, a default constructor does not need to be created, as the CLR provides it for you.

If you create a custom constructor with TypeBuilder.DefineConstructor( ), you can specify the constructor's parameters as an array of System.Type objects. Alternatively, you can use the DefineParameter( ) method to create a ParameterBuilder. You can also add MSIL code to the constructor using the GetILGenerator( ) method.
