Support for System.Reflection.Metadata is under active development and should be considered as experimental with many issues (non exhaustive list):
- Generics (types/methods) are not supported yet
- Interfaces are not supported yet
- Many C# syntaxes/features not implemented
- Some C# syntaxes/features will generate code with mixed APIs (Mono.Cecil/System.Reflection.Metadata)
- Generated code formatting issues
- Incorrect mapping between code snippet/cecilified code (clicking in lines in one of them will most likely not select the correct corresponding lines)
- etc
That said you are more than welcome to try it out and suggest improvements. What is already working:
- Simple class/structs
- Instance/Static fields of primitive/custom types
- Instance/Static methods (no overloading)
- Custom attributes
- Basically anything covered by tests ;) (tests with [TestFixture(typeof(SystemReflectionMetadataContext))]. Note that test fixtures that also have [EnableForContext<SystemReflectionMetadataContext>] applied will only run the tests listed in the ctor of the attribute and an empty list means all tests are disabled (there are multiple tests like that).
