FlashReflection is a faster and easier way to use reflection in .NET. This library provides cache of types, properties, attributes and methods. It allows a much faster access to property values.
How to use:
var classAReflected = ReflectionCache.Instance.GetReflectionType<ClassA>();
var valueOfProperty = classAReflected.Properties["Name"].GetValue(objectOfClassA);Cache options can be set globally by doing the following before any call to ReflectionCache.Instance
ReflectionCache.ReflectionCache = new MemoryCacheOptions();When using ReflectionCache.Instance.GetReflectionType you can specify its cache entry options as well.
ReflectionCache.Instance.GetReflectionType<ClassA>(new MemoryCacheEntryOptions());Benchmark
