The Microsoft .NET Framework ships a CLR metadata manipulation library that is implemented in native code. Third party tools to retrieve and manipulate metadata include PostSharp and Mono Cecil can also be used.

Famous quotes containing the word tools:
“In child rearing it would unquestionably be easier if a child were to do something because we say so. The authoritarian method does expedite things, but it does not produce independent functioning. If a child has not mastered the underlying principles of human interactions and merely conforms out of coercion or conditioning, he has no tools to use, no resources to apply in the next situation that confronts him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
