Examples

var dt = DateTime.Now;

var info = Reflector.GetInfo(instance: dt, type: null, memberPath: "TimeOfDay.Negate");

// info[0].Name == "Negate";
// info[0].MemberType == MemberTypes.Property;

var path = Reflector.GetMemberPath<DateTime>(dt => dt.TimeOfDay.Negate());

// path: "TimeOfDay.Negate"

var success = Reflector.Get(DateTime.Now, null, "TimeOfDay.Hours", out int value);

// success == true;
// value == DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Hours;

or

var success = Reflector.Get(typeof(int), null, "CustomAttributes[0].AttributeType", out int value);

// success == true;
// value == typeof(int).CustomAttributes.First().AttributeType;

or

var success = Reflector.Get(typeof(int), null, "CustomAttributes[0]", out int value);

// success == true;
// value == typeof(int).CustomAttributes.First();

public class Root
{
    public Child Child { get; set; } = new Child();
    public Child[] Children { get; set; } = new Child[] { new Child(), new Child() };
}

public class Child { public int Value { get; set; } }

var root = new Root();

var success1 = Reflector.Set(root, null, "Child.Value", 111);
var success2 = Reflector.Set(root, null, "Children[0].Value", 222);
var success3 = Reflector.Set(root, null, "Children[1]", new Child() { Value = 333 });

// success1 == true;
// success2 == true;
// success3 == true;

// root.Child.Value == 111;
// root.Children[0].Value == 222;
// root.Children[1].Value == 333;

var success = Reflector.Invoke(DateTime.Now, null, "Date.AddYears", new[] { typeof(int) }, out DateTime result, arguments: 10);

// success == true;
// result.Year == DateTime.Now.Date.Year + 10;

var getter = Reflector.CreateGetter(dt => dt.Date.Month);

var value = getter(DateTime.Now);

// value == DateTime.Now.Date.Month;

public class Root { public Child Child { get; set; } = new Child(); }
public class Child { public int Value { get; set; } }

var setter = Reflector.CreateSetter{Root, int}(r => r.Child.Value);
var root = new Root();

setter(root, 12345);

// root.Child.Value == 12345;

public class Root { public Child Child { get; set; } = new Child(); }
public class Child { public int Value { get; set; } }

var setter = Reflector.CreateSetter{Root, int}("Child.Value", typeof(Root));
var root = new Root();

setter(root, 12345);

// root.Child.Value == 12345;
