“Operation could destablize the runtime” and DynamicMethod with value types

Question

I'm trying to generalize the following IL (from Reflector):

.method private hidebysig instance void SetValue(valuetype Test.TestFixture/ValueSource& thing, string 'value') cil managed
{
    .maxstack 8
    L_0000: nop 
    L_0001: ldarg.1 
    L_0002: ldarg.2 
    L_0003: call instance void Test.TestFixture/ValueSource::set_Value(string)
    L_0008: nop 
    L_0009: ret 
}

However, when I try and reproduce this IL with DynamicMethod:

        [Test]
    public void Test_with_DynamicMethod()
    {
        var sourceType = typeof(ValueSource);
        PropertyInfo property = sourceType.GetProperty("Value");

        var setter = property.GetSetMethod(true);
        var method = new DynamicMethod("Set" + property.Name, null, new[] { sourceType.MakeByRefType(), typeof(string) }, true);
        var gen = method.GetILGenerator();

        gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1); // Load input to stack
        gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_2); // Load value to stack
        gen.Emit(OpCodes.Call, setter); // Call the setter method
        gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

        var result = (SetValueDelegate)method.CreateDelegate(typeof(SetValueDelegate));

        var source = new ValueSource();

        result(ref source, "hello");

        source.Value.ShouldEqual("hello");
    }

    public delegate void SetValueDelegate(ref ValueSource source, string value);

I get an exception of "Operation could destabilize the runtime". The IL seems identical to me, any ideas? ValueSource is a value type, which is why I'm doing a ref parameter here.

EDIT

Here's the ValueSource type:

        public struct ValueSource
    {
        public string Value { get; set; }
    }

Answer 1

Change the args to 0/1 (not 1/2):

    gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0); // Load input to stack
    gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_1); // Load value to stack

because the dynamic method it seems to be created as static, not instance (your original method is instance) - hence the args are off by one.

(sorry for the original wrong answer - you can leave the other bit of code as true)
