Provides static methods that give broader access to assembly metadata than
the System.Reflection namespace. These methods are
available only at build time.
Namespace: PostSharp.Reflection
Assembly: PostSharp.dll
Syntax
public static class ReflectionSearchRemarks
Use these methods in build-time code, such as the ValidateCode(object, Assembly) method
of an architectural constraint or the CompileTimeValidate method of an aspect, to find the code that uses a declaration,
the types derived from a type, or the custom attributes added to a declaration, including those added by multicasting.
note
This feature is available only at build time.

| GetDeclarationsUsedByMethod(MethodBase) | Gets all declarations (Type, FieldInfo, MethodInfo or ConstructorInfo) used by the body of a given method or constructor. |
| GetDeclarationsUsedByMethod(MethodBase, ReflectionSearchOptions) | Gets all declarations (Type, FieldInfo, MethodInfo or ConstructorInfo) used by the body of a given method or constructor and specifies additional options. |
| GetDerivedTypes(Type) | Gets the set of types derived from a given class or implementing a given interface. |
| GetDerivedTypes(Type, ReflectionSearchOptions) | Gets the set of types derived from a given class or implementing a given interface, and specifies additional options. |
