Interface ITypeInfo

Represents type information not covered by standard reflection.

Namespace: CilTools.Reflection

Assembly: CilTools.BytecodeAnalysis.dll

Syntax

public interface ITypeInfo

Remarks

This interface exposes the information applicable to types in signatures (such as a method signature), not to type definitions. For example, it enables you to programmatically inspect function pointer types, which is currently (as of .NET 5) not supported by the standard reflection implementation.

Some APIs in CilTools.Metadata, such as ParameterInfo.ParameterType from methods loaded using this library, could return System.Type instances that implements this interface. Cast them to the interface using is/as C# operators and use properties to get the information you need.
