Research direction

Start by reading ClassMap.cs, ClientClass.cs, Exts.cs, and Panel.cs, where the issue identifies uses of System.Reflection.Emit DynamicMethod. Determine the intended scope for replacing or removing these uses; the issue does not specify an alternative or acceptance criteria. Done means the agreed-upon uses are addressed and the relevant project tests pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

ClassMap.cs
DynamicMethod m = new DynamicMethod("LinkEntity_Instantiate" + type.Key.Name + "_ToMap_" + attr.LocalName, typeof(C_BaseEntity), []);
ClientClass.cs
DynamicMethod method = new DynamicMethod($"CreateObjectDynImpl_{t.Name}", typeof(IClientNetworkable), [typeof(int), typeof(int)]);
Exts.cs
var dm = new DynamicMethod("get", MethodAttributes.Static | MethodAttributes.Public, CallingConventions.Standard, typeof(T[]), [typeof(List<T>)], typeof(ArrayAccessor<T>), true);

dm = new DynamicMethod("getSize", MethodAttributes.Static | MethodAttributes.Public, CallingConventions.Standard, typeof(int).MakeByRefType(), [typeof(List<T>)], typeof(ArrayAccessor<T>), true);

var dm = new DynamicMethod("Clear_" + type.Name, null, new[] { typeof(object) }, true);

var dm = new DynamicMethod("Copy_" + type.Name,
							 null,
							 new[] { typeof(object), typeof(object) },
							 true);
Panel.cs
DynamicMethod methodBuilder = new($"{t.Name}PanelAnim_GetVar_{field.Name}", typeof(object), [typeof(Panel)]);

DynamicMethod methodBuilder = new($"{t.Name}PanelAnim_SetVar_{field.Name}", typeof(void), [typeof(Panel), typeof(object)]);
