[Req?] Importer with Strings about dnlib HOT 6 CLOSED

Couldn't you just create a few extension methods? One that gets the type, then another that gets the method from the type (if it's not null).

importer.Import("The.Full.Type.Name").ImportMethod("TheMethod")

Import() above can use the normal type parser code. ImportMethod will resolve the type then find the method and finally import it by calling the importer's method and return the imported method reference.

Nop because GetMethod("ctor") will always return null

from dnlib.

Try GetMethod(".ctor") or: FindConstructors(), FindDefaultConstructor(), FindInstanceConstructors() etc.

from dnlib.

I tried them all and it fails everythime

This is what I want to do :

this is my code :

Importer importerz = new Importer(module);
var ctor1 = importerz.Import(typeof(DateTime).GetMethod(".ctor"));

I but a breakpoint on var ctor1, I pass it and it remains null everytime

You're calling Reflection methods. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.getconstructor%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

Solved :

Importer importerz = new Importer(module);
Type myType = typeof(DateTime);
Type[] types = new Type[1];
types[0] = typeof(Int64);
var ctor1 = importerz.Import(myType.GetConstructor(types));

Thanks a lot @0xd4d
