reflectionbridge's Introduction

ReflectionBridge

Provides some extensions which define a bridge for the differences between Type and TypeInfo.

This library can be used for the following Frameworks:

net2.0
net3.5
net4.0
net4.5
net4.5.x
net4.6
net4.6.1
netcore4.5 Windows Store apps [only up until version 0.0.12]
netcore4.5.1 Windows Store apps (Windows 8.1) [only up until version 0.0.12]
netcore5.0 Windows Universal [only up until version 0.0.12]
dnx451 [only up until version 0.0.12]
dnxcore5 [only up until version 0.0.12]
uap10.0
sl5 (SilverLight 5.0) [only up until version 0.0.12]
netstandard1.3 and up

So instead of doing this in your code:

string s = "example";
#if (!(NET40 || NET35 || NET20))
Type t = s.BaseType;
#else
Type t = s.GetTypeInfo().BaseType;
#endif

You can just do:

string s = "example";
Type t = s.BaseType();

An extension method in this project like this does the if-def:

        public static Type BaseType(this Type type)
        {
#if REFLECTIONBRIDGE && (!(NET40 || NET35 || NET20))
            return type.GetTypeInfo().BaseType;
#else
            return type.BaseType;
#endif
        }

Please provide feedback on this project.

reflectionbridge's Issues

Feature request: Add missing methods (Type.GetProperty and Type.IsInstanceOfType)

Please consider adding

Type.GetProperty
Type.IsInstanceOfType

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.getproperty(v=vs.110).aspx
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.isinstanceoftype(v=vs.110).aspx

Is it compatible with System.Reflection.TypeExtensions ?

When using this two libraries together am getting this:

error CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'System.Reflection.TypeExtensions.GetGenericArguments(System.Type)' and 'ReflectionBridge.Extensions.ReflectionBridgeExtensions.GetGenericArguments(System.Type)

when building using netstandard1.3

Will this work with ASP.NET Core ?

Where are the API to get a method by name or list all the properties of a class?

Make the library part of Theraot library

There is a library which includes all polyfills for legacy frameworks.
This code should be there instead of separate library.

Missing a few methods

So far this is very helpful for porting over some code but it's missing a few methods like:

IsSealed
IsAbstract

Nuget package ?

Is it allowed to copy the classes in my own project ?, since there is no nuget package to include

Apache 2.0 vs. MIT License

Thanks for sharing ReflectionBridge. I'm contributing to a project which is licensed under The MIT License, where ReflectionBridge could be really helpful. Not sure whether the project owner would accept parts under Apache 2.0. MIT is not an option for ReflectionBridge, is it?
