Declaration
public static DynamicInvoker Unreflect(this ConstructorInfo ctor)
Parameters
Type Name Description

Unreflect(FieldInfo, Boolean, BindingFlags)

Creates dynamic invoker for the field.

Declaration
public static DynamicInvoker Unreflect(this FieldInfo field, bool volatileAccess, BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.GetField | BindingFlags.SetField)
Parameters
Type Name Description
FieldInfo field

The field to unreflect.
Boolean volatileAccess

true to generate volatile access to the field.
BindingFlags flags

Describes the access to the field using invoker.
Returns
Type Description
DynamicInvoker

The delegate that can be used to access field value.
Remarks

This method doesn't cache the result so the caller is responsible for storing delegate to the field or cache. flags supports the following combination of values: GetField, SetField or both.

Exceptions
Type Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

flags is invalid.
NotSupportedException

The type of field is ref-like value type.
