mono.cecil

This is a follow-up question to THIS one: To analyze an assembly (or the types it ueses) I would like to read the TypeRef table of such assembly. I got the hint to use Mono.Cecil to do this, but I only found examples reading TypeDef information. Also browsing the source-code of cecil I only found internal classes which seems to me are responsible for reading the metadata, but I found no "public interface". I also found THIS article which uses some COM-library to read metadata, but I couldn't figure out how to use that for my purpose either. Can anyone tell me how I can read the TypeRef table

Help me please with method import. I want to weave assembly and inject method call reference from base class defined in the other assembly (in fact it's the assembly where weaving code is defined). private void InsertCallSetReference() { //Get the load instruction to replace var ilProcessor = Property.SetMethod.Body.GetILProcessor(); var argumentLoadInstructions = ilProcessor.Body.Instructions.ToList(); MethodReference methodReference = ImportMethod("SetReference"); foreach (var instruction in argumentLoadInstructions) { if (instruction.OpCode == OpCodes.Stfld) { ilProcessor.InsertAfter

I downloaded the latest Mono.Cecil and now whenever I start up my project it gives me that error. It goes away if I remove and add mono.cecil. But that is a pain to do every time I open my project. This issue is a well know problem for all .NET 2.0 Projects that want to use Extension Methods internally and therefore declare their own internal System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute to allow this. There are various ways around this problem, if you're using .NET 3.5 or higher, simply compile Mono.Cecil with NET_3_5 or NET_4_0 defined. If you're targeting .NET 2 you might be lucky and

I want to add some behavior to a certain class at runtime. I know how to subclass at runtime using Reflection.Emit but thats not enough, Depending on some external configuration I need to inject opcodes in a method on a type T so all classes that inherit from it automatically gain this behavior.(I cant use the .NET Profiling API) Can something like this be done with Mono.Cecil? If it isnt possible to modify code on a loaded assembly, It is fine If I can make the modifications before the assembly is loaded and then load the modified assembly in memory, but I dont know how I can control assembly

I'm using Mono.Cecil to generate an assembly that contains a derived class that overrides a specific method in an imported base class. The override method is an 'implicit' override. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to designate it as an override. I'm using the following code to create the override method. void CreateMethodOverride(TypeDefinition targetType, TypeDefinition baseClass, string methodName, MethodInfo methodInfo) { // locate the matching base class method, which may // reside in a different module MethodDefinition baseMethod = baseClass .Methods.First(method => method

I'm trying to emit a method that instantiates a System.Lazy and failing with a PEVerify error of "Invalid token", at the line newobj instance void class [mscorlib]System.Lazy`1<class Example.ExpensiveType>::.ctor(class [mscorlib]System.Func`1<class Example.ExpensiveType>) Looking elsewhere with ILDasm, I see that a proper call would look like this: newobj instance void class [mscorlib]System.Lazy`1<class Example.IHeater>::.ctor(class [mscorlib]System.Func`1<!0>) Unfortunately, I'm at a loss as to how to reproduce this with the Mono.Cecil API. Can someone help with the generics? Here's what I
