Hi Fabian, thank you. I'll start from there.

You can write an unmanaged profiler that adds the attribute at load time. Have a look at Profiling.doc and Metadata Unmanaged.doc/Assembly Metadata Unmanaged.doc in your FrameworkSDK\Tool Developers Guide\Docs folder.
You will have to: Write a COM component implementing ICorProfilerCallback Intercept the ModuleLoadFinished or ClassLoadFinished events Get the IMetaDataAssemblyEmit and IMetaDataEmit interfaces for the module you want to manipulate Add a MemberRef to the attribute's constructor (and probably an AssemblyRef and TypeRef as well) Finally add the custom attribute
This is just a rough outline, so be sure to read the documents I mentioned.

Hello, I have an assembly containing a Type and I need to add an attribute to a method of that type at run-time. I tryied to look inside System.Reflection.Emit but I didn't found the way of adding the custom attribute of an already created type.
Someone suggested that there are some unmanaged APIs to do that but I didn't found any document talking about them.
Thanks for any help, Pierre
