MSIL

MSIL

Metadata and the ability to inspect metadata using Reflection were the topics of this chapter. .NET assemblies consist of metadata and MSIL, in which understanding MSIL is equally important to a developer. (MSIL is the topic of Chapter 11.) Understanding MSIL is important for writing, maintaining, and, later, debugging a C# application. Reflection can be used with MSIL code. You can inspect MSIL code at run time, create self-generating code, and otherwise manipulate MSIL using Reflection.
