System.Reflection.Metadata Namespace

The exception that is thrown when an attempt to write metadata exceeds a limit given by the format specification. For example, when the heap size limit is exceeded.

Reads metadata as defined by the ECMA 335 CLI specification.

Provides a MetadataReader for metadata stored in an array of bytes, a memory block, or a stream.

Provides the MetadataReader with a custom mechanism for decoding byte sequences in metadata that represent text.

Represents the shape of an array type.

Represents a collection of AssemblyFileHandle.

A collection of assembly references.

Represents a named argument decoded from a custom attribute signature.

Represents a typed argument for a custom metadata attribute.

Represents a custom attribute of the type specified by TType.

The source document in the debug metadata.

A BlobHandle representing a blob on #Blob heap in Portable PDB structured as Document Name.

Represents a metadata entity (such as a type reference, type definition, type specification, method definition, or custom attribute).

Represents a collection of TypeReferenceHandle instances.

Represents a collection of constraints of a generic type parameter.

Represents a collection of generic type parameters of a method or type.

Represents any metadata entity (such as a type reference, a type definition, a type specification, a method definition, or a custom attribute) or value (a string, blob, guid, or user string).

Provides information about the lexical scope within which a group of imports are available. This information is stored in debug metadata.

Provides information about local constants. This information is stored in debug metadata.

Provides information about the scope of local variables and constants. This information is stored in debug metadata.

Provides information about local variables. This information is stored in debug metadata.

Represents a collection of ManifestResourceHandle instances.

Represents a collection of MemberReferenceHandle instances.

Provides string comparison helpers to query strings in metadata while avoiding allocation if possible.

Provides debug information associated with a method definition. This information is stored in debug metadata.

Represents a method (definition, reference, or standalone) or property signature. In the case of properties, the signature matches that of a getter with a distinguishing SignatureHeader.

Provides a handle to a namespace definition.

Contains a collection of parameters of a specified method.

Represents a handle and a corresponding blob on a metadata heap that was reserved for future content update.

Represents the signature characteristics specified by the leading byte of signature blobs.

Contains a collection of TypeDefinitionHandle instances.

Contains a collection of TypeReferenceHandle instances.

Represents a handle to the user string heap.

Specifies values that represent types of metadata constants.

Specifies constants that define the kinds of arguments in a custom attribute signature.

Specifies constants that indicate whether a MemberReference references a method or field.

Specifies constants that define the type codes used to encode types of primitive values in a CustomAttribute value blob.

Specifies constants that define primitive types found in metadata signatures.

Specifies type codes used to encode the types of values in a CustomAttributeValue<TType> blob.

Specifies additional flags that can be applied to method signatures. The underlying values of the fields in this type correspond to the representation in the leading signature byte represented by a SignatureHeader structure.

Specifies how arguments in a given signature are passed from the caller to the callee. The underlying values of the fields in this type correspond to the representation in the leading signature byte represented by a SignatureHeader structure.

Specifies the signature kind. The underlying values of the fields in this type correspond to the representation in the leading signature byte represented by a SignatureHeader structure.

Specifies constants that define type codes used in signature encoding.

Indicates the type definition of the signature.

Indicates whether a StandaloneSignature represents a standalone method or local variable signature.
