Memory Violation Dynamically Appending to Methods at runtime

Disclaimer: I'm doing this for learning purposes. This is not going to be used in code.

I'm researching dynamically appending to methods at runtime. I found a very useful stack overflow question reference for getting me started.

I have a simple controller which I'm using as a test to verify my methods are swapping:

public class ValuesController : ControllerBase
{
    static ValuesController() {
        var methodToReplace = typeof(ValuesController).GetMethod(nameof(ValuesController.Seven),
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

        var methodToAppend = typeof(ValuesController).GetMethod(nameof(ValuesController.Eight),
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

        new Initializer(methodToReplace, methodToAppend);
    }

    [HttpGet("Seven")]
    public int Seven(string id)
    {
        return 7;
    }

    [HttpGet("Eight")]
    public int Eight(string id)
    {
        return 8;
    }
}

I have a class Initializer which is in charge of handling appending to the method.

public class Initializer
{
    public Initializer(MethodInfo methodToReplace, MethodInfo methodToAppend)
    {
        var dummyMethod = typeof(Initializer).GetMethod(nameof(Dummy),
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

        var proxyMethod = typeof(Initializer).GetMethod(nameof(Proxy),
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

        var appendedMethod = typeof(Initializer).GetMethod(nameof(Appended),
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

        dummyMethod.OneWayReplace(methodToReplace);
        methodToReplace.OneWayReplace(proxyMethod);
        appendedMethod.OneWayReplace(methodToAppend);
    }

    public int Proxy(string id)
    {
        Dummy(id);
        return Appended(id);
    }

    public int Dummy(string id)
    {
        return 0;
    }

    public int Appended(string id)
    {
        return 0;
    }
}

And then I have the Extensions which I've obtained from the original stackoverflow question:

public static class InjectionExtensions
{
    // Note: This method replaces methodToReplace with methodToInject
    // Note: methodToInject will still remain pointing to the same location
    public static unsafe MethodReplacementState OneWayReplace(this MethodInfo methodToReplace, MethodInfo methodToInject)
    {
        //#if DEBUG
        RuntimeHelpers.PrepareMethod(methodToReplace.MethodHandle);
        RuntimeHelpers.PrepareMethod(methodToInject.MethodHandle);
        //#endif
        MethodReplacementState state;

        IntPtr tar = methodToReplace.MethodHandle.Value;
        var inj = methodToInject.MethodHandle.Value + 8;

        if (!methodToReplace.IsVirtual)
            tar += 8;
        else
        {
            var index = (int)(((*(long*)tar) >> 32) & 0xFF);
            var classStart = *(IntPtr*)(methodToReplace.DeclaringType.TypeHandle.Value + (IntPtr.Size == 4 ? 40 : 64));
            tar = classStart + IntPtr.Size * index;
        }
#if DEBUG
        tar = *(IntPtr*)tar + 1;
        inj = *(IntPtr*)inj + 1;
        state.Location = tar;
        state.OriginalValue = new IntPtr(*(int*)tar);

        *(int*)tar = *(int*)inj + (int)(long)inj - (int)(long)tar;
        return state;

#else
        state.Location = tar;
        state.OriginalValue = *(IntPtr*)tar;
        * (IntPtr*)tar = *(IntPtr*)inj;
        return state;
#endif
    }
}

Note: Using the current setup everything works fine. However, the second I change the Initializer class to be a generic class Initializer<T> I get a memory violation:

System.AccessViolationException: 'Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.'

My guess is that either the methodToReplace.DeclaringType.TypeHandle.Value calculation differs for generics, Or since the compiler is the one who generates the generic class it written to protected memory?

How can I append to methods that reside in generic classes?
