Missing metadata from referenced non-F# assemblies

[Vidarls]

Following up on fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting#217 I have some questions regarding getting info on methods (static and instance) from C# types.

The FSharpEntity type have the member MembersFunctionsAndValues, but this one only includes properties from C# types. No methods, static or instance are ever listed here.

I can't seem to find any other way I should have used to get this info.

My question: Is this a feature, bug, or user error?

Also, on C# types and members, the .XmlDocSig is always an empty string.

As mentioned in #229 this is a bug. I can't say much to the .XmlDocSig property but I think this is also a bug/limitation as it would make sense to have it on all assemblies (if possible).

This is now partly fixed with 0.0.82 (methods are now there), however I noticed that private members are still missing in MembersFunctionsAndValues (for non-F# assemblies?). See fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting#259. I'm not sure if this is a natural limitation (because the F# compiler doesn't need private members from a reference) or a bug.

Yes, I do recall that some private members get filtered on import - for the reason you mention - I think somewhere at the Abstract IL level, we'd need to search around to find where

Fixed in FCS 1.4.0.6

I don't think this is fixed, we still have missing metadata (non-public stuff) and recently one FSF user reported fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting#362
