ReflectionBridge

Provides some extensions which define a bridge for the differences between Type and TypeInfo.

This library can be used for the following Frameworks:

• net2.0
• net3.5
• net4.0
• net4.5
• net4.5.x
• net4.6
• net4.6.1
• netcore4.5 Windows Store apps [only up until version 0.0.12]
• netcore4.5.1 Windows Store apps (Windows 8.1) [only up until version 0.0.12]
• netcore5.0 Windows Universal [only up until version 0.0.12]
• dnx451 [only up until version 0.0.12]
• dnxcore5 [only up until version 0.0.12]
• uap10.0
• sl5 (SilverLight 5.0) [only up until version 0.0.12]
• netstandard1.3 and up

So instead of doing this in your code:

strings="example";
#if (!(NET40||NET35||NET20))Typet=s.BaseType;
#else
Typet=s.GetTypeInfo().BaseType;
#endif

You can just do:

strings="example";Typet=s.BaseType();

An extension method in this project like this does the if-def:

publicstaticTypeBaseType(thisTypetype){
#if REFLECTIONBRIDGE&&(!(NET40||NET35||NET20))returntype.GetTypeInfo().BaseType;
#else
returntype.BaseType;
#endif
}

Please provide feedback on this project.
