I've been struggling with this problem for a while. What I'm trying to do 
is generate a rather large array of constant bytes using mono-cecil 
and I understand that I cannot use the FieldDefinition.Constant and 
FieldDefinition.InitialValue fields because the byte[] type is not a value 
type, 
but I've peeked at some .net code with ildasm and it seems to do the 
following:

.class private auto ansi sealed '<PrivateImplementationDetails>'
       extends [mscorlib]System.Object
{
  .custom instance void 
[mscorlib]System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilerGeneratedAttribute::.ctor() 
= ( 01 00 00 00 ) 
  .field static assembly initonly int32 
BD346A9E43DFFF4439275DD65DC7D20506F6FDD9 at I_00003E84
} // end of class '<PrivateImplementationDetails>'


// =============================================================

.data cil I_00003E84 = bytearray (
                 00 15 21 06)    

Basically it creates a custom class containing a field with a reference to 
some .data that contains the constant bytes and then use this field every 
time this particular sequence of bytes is used.

I would like to imitate this behavior, how should I go about it? More 
specifically, how could I create some bytes in the .data section and then 
reference them as the value of my field.
Thanks to anyone taking the time to look at this, and if this has already 
been answered I apologize.
