I want my application, written in ocaml, to read a managed DLL and retrieve the class definitions contained therein. Where can I find the public documentation / example code on how to do it?
[edit:
Since I’m writing this application in ocaml, I’m looking for actual file format definitions, since I can’t use the .NET’s own assembly inspection functions]
Thank you!
Okay, I’ve found some relevant pieces of information about reading a PE file and the CLI metadata. Specifically, this article http://wyday.com/blog/2010/how-to-detect-net-assemblies-x86-x64-anycpu/ has an example source code in C# and links to the PE/COFF specification, and to the CLI Metadata specification . It seems they will be enough to get started.
I will still leave this question open, though, if someone would like to share more specific information / example source code. Thanks again for everyone that answered!
