I am trying to convert DatetimeOffset to DateTime on runtime using c# DynamicMethod and GetILGenerator. I can able to convert from DateTimeOffset?-> DateTime, DateTimeOffset -> DateTime ..etc except DateTimeOffset? to DateTime?. The converted UTC value is not used while creating the `DateTime?' object. Not Sure what is wrong in below

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;

public class Program
{
    public static Func<TInputValue, TOutputValue> GenerateConverter<TInputValue, TOutputValue>()
    {
        var inputType = typeof(TInputValue);
        var outputType = typeof(TOutputValue);

        // Create a dynamic method with a single parameter (DateTimeOffset)
        var method = new DynamicMethod(
            "ConvertDateTimeOffsetToUtcDateTime",
            outputType,
            new[] { inputType });

        var inputIsNullable = inputType.IsGenericType && inputType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>);
        var outputIsNullable = outputType.IsGenericType && outputType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>);

        var il = method.GetILGenerator();

        // Get methods and properties needed for DateTimeOffset and DateTime conversion
        var getValueMethod = typeof(DateTimeOffset?).GetProperty("Value").GetGetMethod();
        var utctimeMethod = typeof(DateTimeOffset).GetProperty("UtcDateTime").GetGetMethod();
        var hasValueMethod = typeof(DateTimeOffset?).GetProperty("HasValue").GetGetMethod();

        Label returnNullLabel = il.DefineLabel();

  • Well, not sure about the correctness of the emitted code you're generating, but the exception is thrown in the line il.Emit(OpCodes.Ret); // Return the result. – Matt Commented Nov 19, 2024 at 7:13

You have two issues here, both of which you would have realised if you would have compared your generated IL to what you get from compiling it with C# (eg using https://sharplab.io).

        if (inputIsNullable)
        {
            // Load the argument (DateTimeOffset?)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, 0);
            // Check if the DateTimeOffset? has a value (not null)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, hasValueMethod);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Brfalse_S, returnNullLabel); // If null, jump to returnNullLabel

            // Load the value (unbox DateTimeOffset)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, 0);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, getValueMethod);
        }
        else
        {
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0); // Load the non-nullable DateTimeOffset
        }

This is incorrect. If you have a valuetype on the stack, you cannot pass directly as the this to an instance method. You need to load its ref, and in the case of the nullable you need to store the Value in a local.

        il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, (byte)0); // Load the address
        if (inputIsNullable)
        {
            // Check if the DateTimeOffset? has a value (not null)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, hasValueMethod);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Brfalse_S, returnNullLabel); // If null, jump to returnNullLabel

            // Load the value (unbox DateTimeOffset)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, 0);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, getValueMethod);
            var loc = il.DeclareLocal(typeof(DateTimeOffset));
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Stloc_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloca_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex);
        }

        if (outputIsNullable)
        {
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldnull); // Return null if the output is nullable
        }

This is incorrect. To create an empty nullable, you can't use ldnull which is only for object references. You need to create an empty struct using a local and initobj.

        if (outputIsNullable)
        {
            var loc = il.DeclareLocal(outputType);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloca_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Initobj, outputType);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex); // Return null if the output is nullable
        }

I am trying to convert DatetimeOffset to DateTime on runtime using c# DynamicMethod and GetILGenerator. I can able to convert from DateTimeOffset?-> DateTime, DateTimeOffset -> DateTime ..etc except DateTimeOffset? to DateTime?. The converted UTC value is not used while creating the `DateTime?' object. Not Sure what is wrong in below

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;

public class Program

    public static Func<TInputValue, TOutputValue> GenerateConverter<TInputValue, TOutputValue>()

        var hasValueMethod = typeof(DateTimeOffset?).GetProperty("HasValue").GetGetMethod();

        Label returnNullLabel = il.DefineLabel();
        Label continueLabel = il.DefineLabel();

  • Well, not sure about the correctness of the emitted code you're generating, but the exception is thrown in the line il.Emit(OpCodes.Ret); // Return the result. – Matt Commented Nov 19, 2024 at 7:13

You have two issues here, both of which you would have realised if you would have compared your generated IL to what you get from compiling it with C# (eg using https://sharplab.io).

        if (inputIsNullable)
        {
            // Load the argument (DateTimeOffset?)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, 0);
            // Check if the DateTimeOffset? has a value (not null)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, hasValueMethod);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Brfalse_S, returnNullLabel); // If null, jump to returnNullLabel

            // Load the value (unbox DateTimeOffset)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, 0);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, getValueMethod);
        }
        else
        {
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0); // Load the non-nullable DateTimeOffset
        }

This is incorrect. If you have a valuetype on the stack, you cannot pass directly as the this to an instance method. You need to load its ref, and in the case of the nullable you need to store the Value in a local.

        il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, (byte)0); // Load the address
        if (inputIsNullable)
        {
            // Check if the DateTimeOffset? has a value (not null)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, hasValueMethod);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Brfalse_S, returnNullLabel); // If null, jump to returnNullLabel

            // Load the value (unbox DateTimeOffset)
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarga_S, 0);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Call, getValueMethod);
            var loc = il.DeclareLocal(typeof(DateTimeOffset));
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Stloc_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloca_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex);
        }

        if (outputIsNullable)
        {
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldnull); // Return null if the output is nullable
        }

This is incorrect. To create an empty nullable, you can't use ldnull which is only for object references. You need to create an empty struct using a local and initobj.

        if (outputIsNullable)
        {
            var loc = il.DeclareLocal(outputType);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloca_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Initobj, outputType);
            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc_S, (byte)loc.LocalIndex); // Return null if the output is nullable
        }
