No, it's not possible.
See:
--
abstract class Foo
{
public abstract int Do();
}
class Bar : Foo
{
public override int Do()
{
return 2;
}
}
class Baz : Foo
{
public override int Do()
{
return 42;
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Foo f;
if (args.Length == 0)
f = new Bar();
else
f = new Baz();
Console.WriteLine(f.Do());
}
}
--
Look at the expression:
f.Do();
At the IL level, what Cecil sees, all you'll get it is:
callvirt int Foo::Do()
There's no way, at the Cecil level, to know if Bar.Do() or Baz.Do()
will be called.
