Namely:
Mono.Cecil.PropertyDefinition.OtherMethods
Mono.Cecil.EventDefinition.OtherMethods
These are neither Get/Set not Add/Remove methods. So what are they?

i am using jaxb to generate code from an xsd.
The generated code contains a lot of annotations; for classes and fields.
I am trying to use com.sun.tools.internal.xjc.Plugin to modify the generated code.
In the plugin run() method we are given an Outline class from which we can get ClassOutline. ClassOutline has an JDefinedClass final member which has the info about actual class which will be generated.
If i want to add anything, there are apis in JDefinedClass which can be used. But if i want to remove something, there is no way.
e.g. i cannot clear annotations, because the JDefinedClass.annotations() method returns an UnmodifiableCollection. so i cannot clear it or remove anything from it.
i tried to create another JDefinedClass by invoking the _class method but the ClassOutline.implClass variable is final, so i cannot set it.
how to get a JDefinedClass which does not have any annotations?
is there another phase of code generation which i can trap into to really control the generation of JDefinedClass?
The code model is, indeed mostly "write only". But, speaking of annotations, you have probably missed the methods like com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass.removeAnnotation(JAnnotationUse) and com.sun.codemodel.JMethod.removeAnnotation(JAnnotationUse) (implemented from com.sun.codemodel.JAnnotatable.removeAnnotation(JAnnotationUse)).
So they're there. You can remove annotations with the normal CodeModel API.
As I can see, you can also remove fields and methods from classes. So what exactly are you missing?
JDefinedClass.annotations() It return an unmodifiable collection object and you cannot modify them.
So work around for this, you can restrict annotation addition/deletion at class and field level before building JCodeModel.
You need to create a custom Jackson2Annotator class which extends Jackson2Annotator and override their methods according to your requirement.
Following are few methods which are being used for specific type of annotation property:
propertyOrder(OTB JsonPropertyOrder)
propertyInclusion(OTB JsonInclude)
propertyField(can be used for custom defined annotation at field level)
More you can discover by looking Jackson2Annotator class what fit into your need.
I've been using Metro and have come across a problem whereby wsgen seems to ignore any JAXB annotation that I put on web method response classes.
I'm trying to return a set of entity classes that I want to expose to external clients via a web service, however I only want to make certain class attributes and methods visible to external clients, so have set the class access type to be PROPERTY, and have annotated all attributes I want to be part of the XML version of the class with #XmlElement.
I can create the XML schema for the entity class using the schemagen ant task, which correctly ignores any attribute or method that I have not annotated with #XmlElement, however when I run wsgen to create the wsdl for the web service which has a method which returns a set of the entity class, then I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. This appears to be because wsgen is not ignoring a public method on the entity class that it should do, with the class referenced by the exception being a parameter to this method.
I've tried to annotate the method with #XmlTransient so that wsgen ignores it, but to no avail. If anyone can suggest what I should do to get wsgen to pay attention to my annotations then that would be great.
An annotated field/property will always be processed regardless of accessor type. You need to specify #XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE) if you only want annotated fields/properties to be treated as mapped.

When handling the Selected event of a EntityDataSource, the Results property of the EntityDataSourceSelectedEventArgs returns an ObjectView collection of my entities. I'm not sure what this class is. This link to the Namepace doesn't mention the class.
Is there any documentation on this System.Data.Objects.ObjectView collection class? How would I convert an ObjectView<T> to a List<T>? Perhaps it's as simple as enumerating the collection and adding the items to a new List<T>, but some information about the class would be useful.
The ObjectView class is internal and therefore you cannot find it on MSDN. The important bit of information is that it implements IBindingListInterface
I wanted to know why do we need to specify the Annotation #XmlAccessorType when working with JAXB .
When i googled for this i found out this description from a website stating this
#XmlAccessorType sets default field and property serializability. By default, JAXB serializes public fields and properties. By setting #XmlAccessorType, the bean can choose to only allow annotated fields to be serialized.
Here the author mentions that with this annotation it gives control on serialization .
My question is , so #XmlAccessorType has nothing to do with the JAXB Binding and Unbinding from XML to java and java to XML , and it is all about Serialization only .
JAXB's #XmlAccessorType annotation is only used by JAXB (JSR-222) implementations for determining how to marshal a file to/from XML:
Normally the main decision to be made is between FIELD & PROPERTY/PUBLIC. FIELD is particularly useful when you have logic in your get/set methods that you do not want triggered during marshalling/unmarshalling. To see one way this choice affects the mapping metadata see:
http://blog.bdoughan.com/2012/02/jaxbs-xmltype-and-proporder.html
NONE is a useful choice when you have many unmapped properties and you want to tell your JAXB implementation to only map the fields/properties you have annotated. This can be alot easier than adding a lot of #XmlTransient annotations into your model.

we're using Automapper (http://automapper.codeplex.com/) to map between entities and dto's. We have a situation where one property on an entity corresponds to three different properties on the dto, and we need to write some custom logic to do the mapping. Anyone know how we can do that? (We need to map both ways, from entity and from dto).
I notice that AutoMapper supports custom resolvers to do custom mapping logic, but as far as I can tell from the documentation, they only allow you to map a single property to another single property.
Thx
You can create a custom type converter. It allows you to define a converter for an entire type, not just a single property.
