Microsoft.ExtendedReflection support for CoreClr

[SeriousM]

Hi, I don't know where I should put this questions to get qualified opinions and answers, so I put it into this issue board. If this was wrong, I'm very sorry.

With Microsoft's research project PEX the assembly Microsoft.ExtendedReflection was created to wrap the native ClrProfiler with managed code to get the callback hooks into managed .net code.

Microsoft ships a current version vith VS2017 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Pex\Microsoft.ExtendedReflection.dll) so I assume that the work on Microsoft.ExtendedReflection is not stopped yet.

I've seen that CoreClr Profiler is getting some attention (#445) and I'm curious if there will be a new version of Microsoft.ExtendedReflection for CoreClr Profiler or even getting support for it?

Beside of that, could someone please help me to get some documentation on Microsoft.ExtendedReflection or at least the .xml files? The current available documentation is either very outdated or not available at all for the latest version.

Thank you all very much

@SeriousM, this might come a little late, but:

I installed an old version of Pex today. After installation, I found a Microsoft.ExtendedReflection.xml under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\ExtendedReflection\0.94.51006.1\bin. Perhaps Visual Studio Enterprise/Ultimate installs a newer version in a similar directory?

@stakx you're right, there is a similar version but with a different api. I was still not able to get it to work because of the lack of documentation and missing prerequisites. Thank you anyway but I guess Microsoft is not interested in solving this issue.
