[Mono-list] dynamic method building

I'm currently trying to write a class for monitoring object behavior
and currently i've decided it'd be easier to try implementing this
class using reflection.emit
right now i'd like to be able to take class A and create a new class B
that inherits from A.
class B then overrides all of A's methods using Reflection.Emit and
provides new code for monitoring calls on A and then
forwarding/mimicking the behavior of A.
so i'd be like this:
class A
{
public A() {}
public void printMe() { Console.WriteLine("Blah"); }
}
class B would be made at runtime and it'd inherit from A then it would
override printMe
with code to perform monitoring and then it'd make a call to A's
version of printMe().
My question is... I know how to make dynamic types but how do i define
dynamic functions i noticed that MethodBuilder requires IL codes
inorder to perform it's magic.
Is there a way i can define a method's body with a string and then have
some part of the reflection/reflection.emit namespace generate ILcodes
for that string?
much thanks,
