Fasterflect - .NET Reflection Made Fast and Simple

Welcome

These pages exist to give you a smooth start to using Fasterflect, which is in fact embarrassingly simple and most likely you will not need this information at all. That said, it can be helpful to understand certain things about Fasterflect to reduce the friction associated with getting to know any new library.

We recommend that you begin with Getting Started and then go from there to either Querying or Accessing depending on what you're the most interested in.

Enjoy your stay and thank you for using Fasterflect!
