Lazy loading of TypeDefinition

[Anatoly]

Hello,
For performace I'd like initially to load only type's names/fullnames.
The other information (fields, properties,methods) I'd like to load
later (when considering the given type). Is this scenario possible in
Mono.Cecil?

Mono does not contain APIs for getting such information without loading the type hierarchy.
However, it uses lazy loading for other stuff like method bodies...

If performance is an absolute requirement, you may consider implementing your own optimized routines

Hey Anatoly,

Right now Cecil aggresively loads everything. Its next version is
allows you to load metadata lazily. I suggest you use the current
version of Cecil, and try the next version as soon as it's out.
