MeshWeaver.Reflection 2.5.0

MeshWeaver.Reflection

Overview

MeshWeaver.Reflection provides a collection of extension methods and utilities to simplify common reflection tasks in C#. This library extends the standard reflection capabilities with convenient helper methods and performance optimizations.

Features

Type Extensions

• Anonymous type detection
• Nullable type handling
• Type inheritance and interface inspection
• Attribute handling
• Property and method reflection helpers

Member Info Extensions

• Attribute inspection and caching
• Property override detection
• Virtual property analysis
• Interface declaration inspection

Reflection Helpers

• Property accessor detection
• Constant value extraction
• Generic type constraint validation
• Type signature analysis

Performance Optimizations

• Cached attribute lookups
• Optimized type comparisons
• Efficient member access

Usage Examples

// Check if type is anonymous
bool isAnonymous = type.IsAnonymous();

// Get all string constants from a type
var constants = type.GetStringConstants();

// Check if property overrides base class
bool isOverride = propertyInfo.IsOverride();

// Get custom attributes with inheritance
var attributes = memberInfo.GetCustomAttributesInherited<T>();

Integration

The library is used throughout the MeshWeaver ecosystem to provide efficient reflection capabilities where needed.
