VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell

Name

ConstructorInfo

Synopsis

This class is an implementation of MethodBase explicitly for constructors. It adds the two shared read-only properties ConstructorName and TypeConstructorName, which are defined in metadata as methods of the name .ctor and .cctor respectively. (Recall that a “type constructor” is executed as soon as the type is loaded into the CLR; hence the name “class constructor,” — “cctor” for short.)
