[mono-cecil] How to get variable names in methods?

[Timwi]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a list of the names of the local variables in a
specific method.

So I'm using something like this ...
            foreach (var m in myLibrary.Modules.Cast<ModuleDefinition>
()) {
                foreach (var t in m.Types.Cast<TypeDefinition>()) {
                    foreach (var e in t.Methods.Cast<MethodDefinition>
()) {
                        foreach (var v in
e.Body.Variables.Cast<VariableDefinition>()) {
                            Console.WriteLine(v.Name);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Unfortunately, I only get "V_0", "V_1", etc., not the real variable
names.

I tried actually changing the names to something like "a", "b", etc.,
by assigning to v.Name, but Red Gate's .NET Reflector still shows them
with their original name, so the name wasn't changed.

Renaming methods by assigning to m.Name appears to work. Reflector
shows the new names.

Why doesn't this work for variables, and how do I make it work?

Thanks!
