Unconstrain

Enables uage of enum and delegate as generic constraints in C#.

How to use?

• Install from NuGet: Install-Package Unconstrain.
  It's just a Development dependency that would automatically configure your project.

How does it Work?

• User maps enum and delegate constraints to IEnumConstraint and DelegateConstraint respectively.
• Project is compiled by csc.exe.
• ILDASM is called on the compiled DLL file to generate IL.
• References to IEnumConstraint and DelegateConstraint are mapped back to System.Enum and System.Delegate in the IL.
• ILASM is used to compile the modified IL into DLL.
• Any remaining .il, .res and .mdb files are deleted.

Troubleshooting

It may happen that the package isn't able to find ILDASM or ILASM, in that case proceed as follows: (Also, let me know if you have better workarounds)

• Goto packages/Unconstrain.*/build folder in your project.
• Open Unconstrain.targets in Notepad or any other suitable editor.
• Find the <ILDASM> tag. Replace its contents with the path to ildasm.exe on your system.
• Do the same (if required) with <ILASM> tag with path to ilasm.exe.
