In the program I am making a plugin for, multiple .dll files are loaded. One of these .dll/library/assemblies I am particularly interested in. This assembly contains a class with a method that returns a boolean. I want to be able to use Reflection.Emit to some how change what that method will return (maybe upon start up?). Some things to take note of:
- I do not have access to the original source code of the .dll.
- I do not want to use Plan B and decompile the referenced assembly with a Reflector, fixing the bugs, and recompiling.
The way everything works is that all of my code is currently compiled into a dll that is ran as a plugin for the real program. I really need to be able to override/rewrite method body/change the return value of an assembly that the program is using. The only thing I have heard is that Reflection.Emit may be my hope. It was simply a tip from someone that wants me to dive deeper.
Made up code of Assembly-called-from-program.dll:
public virtual bool exampleBool(bool b)
{
return b;
}
Code I want to replace it with in My-plugin-for-program.dll:
public virtual bool exampleBool(bool b)
{
return true;
}
This is just an example. I want to learn and adapt any provided tutorials and resources into what I want to actually accomplish. I didn't provide the actual code that I want to replace because it is too blocky.
