Reflection Extensions

This library provides a set of extension methods to simplify common tasks related to reflection in C#.

MemberInfoExtensions

GetAttribute<TAttribute>

Gets a specified attribute from a member, if present.

public static TAttribute? GetAttribute<TAttribute>(this MemberInfo value)
    where TAttribute : Attribute

Usage:

MethodInfo methodInfo = // get MethodInfo
MyAttribute? attribute = methodInfo.GetAttribute<MyAttribute>();

GetAttributes<TAttribute>

Gets a list of specified attributes from a member.

public static List<TAttribute> GetAttributes<TAttribute>(this MemberInfo value)
    where TAttribute : Attribute

Usage:

PropertyInfo propertyInfo = // get PropertyInfo
List<MyAttribute> attributes = propertyInfo.GetAttributes<MyAttribute>();

GetMemberType

Gets the type of the member.

public static Type GetMemberType(this MemberInfo value)

Usage:

FieldInfo fieldInfo = // get FieldInfo
Type fieldType = fieldInfo.GetMemberType();

IsField, IsProperty, IsMethod

Determines whether the member is a field, property, or method.

public static bool IsField(this MemberInfo value)
public static bool IsProperty(this MemberInfo value)
private static bool IsMethod(this MemberInfo value)

Usage:

MethodInfo methodInfo = // get MethodInfo
bool isMethod = methodInfo.IsMethod();

TypeExtensions

IsValueType, IsPrimitive, IsEnum, IsGenericType

Determines whether the specified type is a value type, primitive type, enumeration type, or generic type.

public static bool IsValueType(Type type)
public static bool IsPrimitive(Type type)
public static bool IsEnum(Type type)
public static bool IsGenericType(Type type)

Usage:

Type myType = // get Type
bool isEnum = myType.IsEnum();

CreateType

Creates a System.Type object based on the provided TypeBuilder.

public static Type CreateType(TypeBuilder typeBuilder)

Usage:

TypeBuilder typeBuilder = // create TypeBuilder
Type createdType = TypeExtensions.CreateType(typeBuilder);

BaseType

Gets the base type of the specified type.

public static Type? BaseType(Type type)

Usage:

Type myType = // get Type
Type? baseType = TypeExtensions.BaseType(myType);
