FromMetadataImage(ImmutableArray<Byte>)	Creates a provider over a byte array.
FromMetadataStream(Stream, MetadataStreamOptions, Int32)	Creates a provider for a stream of the specified size beginning at its current position.
FromPortablePdbImage(Byte*, Int32)	Creates a portable PDB metadata provider over a blob stored in memory.
FromPortablePdbImage(ImmutableArray<Byte>)	Creates a portable PDB metadata provider over a byte array.
FromPortablePdbStream(Stream, MetadataStreamOptions, Int32)	Creates a provider for a stream of the specified size beginning at its current position.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetMetadataReader(MetadataReaderOptions, MetadataStringDecoder)	Gets a MetadataReader from a MetadataReaderProvider.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
