[Mono-dev] Mono profiler question

If you have the MonoMethod handle (I assume you do):

	MonoClass *k = mono_method_get_class (method);

Then you can get the image:

	MonoImage *image = mono_class_get_image (k);

And then you can use:

    MonoType *t = mono_reflection_type_from_name ("TypeName", image);
