The AssemblyName class can parse the assembly name for you, just pass in the string to its constructor. If you have an assembly qualified type name, I think you’ll have to strip of the type part of the string first (ie everything up to the first comma).
A bridge method may be created by the compiler when extending a parameterized type whose methods have parameterized arguments. You can find in this class BridgeMethodResolver a way to get the actual Method referred by a ‘bridge method’. See Create Frame, Synchronize, Transfer Control: As an example of such a situation, consider the declarations: class … Read more
Due to type erasure, actual generic arguments cannot be obtained through T::class token of a generic class. Different objects of a class must have the same class token, that’s why it cannot contain actual generic arguments. Edit: Since Kotlin 1.3.50, following the technique described below to get type information for a reified type parameter is … Read more
Referencing ECMA-335, the is operator generates the isinst object model IL instruction (Partition III §4.6), which is part of the base instruction set as opposed to being part of the Reflection library (Partition IV §5.5). Edit: The is operator is extremely efficient compared to the reflection library. You could perform basically the same test much … Read more
This is a classic issue. From MSDN: The C# keywords protected and internal have no meaning in IL and are not used in the Reflection APIs. The corresponding terms in IL are Family and Assembly. To identify an internal method using Reflection, use the IsAssembly property. To identify a protected internal method, use the IsFamilyOrAssembly. … Read more
In Java this is called Reflection. Assuming the class has this constructor, otherwise you will get a NoSuchMethod exception I believe. clazz.asSubclass(asSubclassOfClass) .getConstructor(String.class,XYZ.class) .newInstance(“howdy”,XyzObj); Since you are new to Java, let me give you an easier so that you can understand what’s going on under the hood when you do this. Assume you have the … Read more
Getting a type from a assembly may require additional assemblies to be loaded so that is most probably the reason for the error; a failure to load a dependent assembly. However a .NET assembly may be constructed from several modules in different files so I believe you may also face this problem if you have … Read more
No, there is no better way (by design). You are not supposed to do this, Java is designed as a type-safe language. However, I can understand that you sometimes need to do things like this, and for that purposes you can create a library function like this: public <T> T instantiate(final String className, final Class<T> … Read more
public static <T extends Enum<T>> T getInstance(final String value, final Class<T> enumClass) { return Enum.valueOf(enumClass, value); } And the method is to be used as: final Shape shape = getInstance(“CAT”, Shape.class); Then again, you can always use final Shape shape = Shape.valueOf(“CAT”); which is a shortcut for Enum.valueOf(Shape.class, “CAT”);
public static int Dummy { get { var propertyName = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name.Substring(4); Console.WriteLine(propertyName); return 0; } }
