Create .NET (Core) version of Reflection doc

Open richlander opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I only see this one, which includes CodeDom, which we don't want.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/reflection-and-codedom/reflection


Document Details

Do not edit this section. It is required for docs.microsoft.com ➟ GitHub issue linking.

I think that section would need the same treatment as "Assemblies in .NET", move part of articles applicable to both .NET Framework and .NET Core into .NET Fundamentals, and leave .NET Framework-specific articles in .NET Framework guide. Some articles should be updated, for example, remove mention of app domains where it's unneeded, others can be moved as is. I propose the following TOC structure:

.NET fundamentals - Runtime libraries - Reflection

  • Reflection
  • Viewing Type Information
  • Reflection and Generic Types
  • How to: Examine and Instantiate Generic Types with Reflection
  • How to: Get type and member information by using reflection
  • Accessing Custom Attributes
  • Specify fully qualified type names
  • How to: Hook Up a Delegate Using Reflection

.NET Framework - Dynamic programming - Reflection

  • Security Considerations for Reflection
  • How to: Load Assemblies into the Reflection-Only Context
  • Reflection in the .NET Framework for Windows Store Apps

Nice! Yes, that looks about right. AssemblyLoadContext fits in in a .NET Core specific section. I'm sure we could get multiple people to help on this.
