Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Type	type	The type that defines the field, or derived class of this type; must not be a struct type unless the field is static
string	fieldName	The name of the field

Returns

Type	Description
AccessTools.FieldRef<object, F>	A readable/assignable AccessTools.FieldRef<T, F> delegate with T=object (for static fields, the instance delegate parameter is ignored)

Type Parameters

Name	Description
F	The type of the field; or if the field's type is a reference type (a class or interface, NOT a struct or other value type), a type that is assignable from that type; or if the field's type is an enum type, either that type or the underlying integral type of that enum type

Remarks

This method is meant for cases where the given type is only known at runtime and thus can't be used as a type parameter T in e.g. FieldRefAccess<T, F>(string).

This method supports static fields, even those defined in structs, for legacy reasons. Consider using StaticFieldRefAccess<F>(Type, string) (and other overloads) instead for static fields.
