http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jmstall/archive/2012/08/06/reflection-vs-metadata.aspxHere are some old notes I had about Reflection vs. the raw IMetadata Import interfaces. They’re from a while ago (before CLR 4.0 was shipped!), but still relevant. Better to share late than never! Quick reminder on the two APIs I’m comparing here: Reflectionen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jmstall/archive/2012/08/06/reflection-vs-metadata.aspx#10359061Fri, 12 Oct 2012 10:15:29 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10359061sarabjeet<p>Great post indeed. I really like that you are providing information on .NET for freshers , Being enrolled &nbsp;at <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.wiziq.com/course/57-fresher-training-projects">www.wiziq.com/.../57-fresher-training-projects</a> i found your information very helpful indeed.

It provides a managed re-implementation of System.Reflection and System.Reflection.Emit without the limitations and runtime coupling (and it is also much faster).</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10337513" width="1" height="1">
