Calling a private constructor using Albedo

[SeanFarrow]

Hi,

What is the easiest way of calling a constructor with parameters using Albedo?
calling methods doesn't seem to be covered in the read me.
Help appreciated as always.
Cheers
Sean.

If you know that you want to call a constructor, then I think using ConstructorInfo.Invoke would be the easiest way.

The purpose of Albedo is to provide a common abstraction over Reflection, enabling you to treat e.g. fields and properties alike. If you don't need the abstraction, the standard Reflection API is probably easier.

I feel that I'm misunderstanding the question, however, but I can't quite figure out what the real question is... Can you elaborate?

Hi Mark,

That’s what I’m doing currently!
I just wondered whether albedo offered a way of doing it, it wasn’t a trick question!
Cheers
Sean.

The answer, in this case, is no. Do you have any other concerns, or can we close the issue?

Ok, you can close this, it would be a nice to have though!

I'm still not sure I understand what it is that you'd like to have... 😳

The ability to visit and call constructors.

You can already visit constructors...
