ISymbol.MetadataName Property

Definition

Gets the name of a symbol as it appears in metadata. Most of the time, this is the same as the Name property, with the following exceptions:

  1. The metadata name of generic types includes the "`1", "`2" etc. suffix that indicates the number of type parameters (it does not include, however, names of containing types or namespaces).
  2. The metadata name of explicit interface names have spaces removed, compared to the name property.
  3. The length of names is limited to not exceed metadata restrictions.
