MemberDescriptor

class Core/Vixen.Core.Reflection/TypeDescriptor.cs:95
csharp
public sealed class MemberDescriptor

One member of a described type, and the two delegates that read and write it.

No guide page documents this yet — the page shows what the code says about itself.

Remarks

The accessors are generated lambdas — static instance => ((Foo)instance).X — not PropertyInfo calls. That is the entire point of this assembly: an inspector, a serializer fallback and a diff tool can all read and write arbitrary members on a platform where System.Reflection's member access has been trimmed away.

They pass values as Object, which boxes a struct. That is deliberate and it is why this is not a frame-loop API: it exists for tooling, inspection and boot-time discovery, where one allocation per property read is invisible. Frame code uses the generated serializer or touches the field directly.
