IMemberAdapterRepository.GetMethodMetadata Method

Namespace

Kampute.DocToolkit.Metadata

Assembly

Kampute.DocToolkit.dll

IMemberAdapterRepository.GetMethodMetadata(MethodInfo, bool)	Gets the method metadata for the specified method within the assembly.
IMemberAdapterRepository.GetMethodMetadata<T>(MethodInfo)	Gets the method metadata for the specified method within the assembly, with a specific return type.

IMemberAdapterRepository.GetMethodMetadata(MethodInfo, bool)

Gets the method metadata for the specified method within the assembly.

IMethodBase GetMethodMetadata(MethodInfo methodInfo, bool asDeclared = false)

Parameters

methodInfo MethodInfo: The reflection method to get metadata for.
asDeclared bool optional: Indicates whether to retrieve extension methods in their declared form rather than their usage form.

Returns

IMethodBase: A metadata representation of the specified method.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException: Thrown when methodInfo is null.
ArgumentException: Thrown when methodInfo does not belong to the assembly.

Remarks

When asDeclared is false (the default), extension methods are detected and resolved to reflect their usage form rather than their declared form. Otherwise, the metadata is retrieved as declared, without extension method detection and resolution.

Based on the nature of the provided methodInfo, the returned metadata may represent different method types:

Regular or Extension Method–The returned metadata is an instance of IMethod.
Operator Overload–The returned metadata is an instance of IOperator.

IMemberAdapterRepository.GetMethodMetadata<T>(MethodInfo)

Gets the method metadata for the specified method within the assembly, with a specific return type.

T GetMethodMetadata<T>(MethodInfo methodInfo)
	where T : IMethodBase

This method has a default implementation in the interface.

Type Parameters

T: The specific type of method metadata to retrieve.

Parameters

methodInfo MethodInfo: The reflection method to get metadata for.

Returns

T: A metadata representation of the specified method.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException: Thrown when methodInfo is null.
ArgumentException: Thrown when methodInfo does not belong to the assembly.
InvalidCastException: Thrown when the retrieved method metadata cannot be cast to T.

Remarks

Unlike IMemberAdapterRepository.GetMethodMetadata(MethodInfo, bool), this method always retrieves the method metadata in its resolved form, meaning that extension methods are detected and resolved to reflect their usage form rather than their declared form.
