Reflection Utils

Fast Activator

The normal instance activator is not fast, period. So here comes the fast activator:

var myObject = (MyObject)FastActivator.CreateInstance(typeof(MyObject));

This was for objects with a default constructor, for objects with parameters in the constructor you can do this:

var myObject = (MyObject)FastActivator<T1, T2, T3>.CreateInstance(typeof(MyObject));

T1 to T3 are the types of your arguments. For now only three arguments are available.

Fast Delegate

When you want to use reflection to get or set a property it is slow. Why not create a delegate for it?

PropertyInfo.BindGet();

or for setting:

PropertyInfo.BindSet();

it will return a delegate you can reuse in your application.

For Methods you can do it ike this

var method = MethodInfo.Bind();

It will give you the method delegate to keep calling the method in a fast manner.

Static functions

You can use the Functions.GetValue method to get the value of an object by its string property name, it caches the reflection side for you.

Extension Methods

On an Enum you can do GetAttributeOfType to get a specific attribute from the Enum in a fast way.
