Reflection in csharp

lakshumanan: I think your instructor wants you to write your own answer based on your understanding of the subject.

If there is any requirement in your application to add reference to a 3rd party dlls, you dont know what are all the methods, properties, events are available in that dll.
So to know the indepth of that assembly, reflection is used.
Through reflection you can iterate all the properties, methods, or events available in it.
Eg:-
string sAssemblyName = GetValidAssembly(args);
  Assembly assem = Assembly.LoadFrom(sAssemblyName);

  Type[] types = assem.GetTypes();

  foreach (Type t in types)
  {
    try
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Type information for:" + t.FullName);
      Console.WriteLine("\tBase class = " + t.BaseType.FullName);
      Console.WriteLine("\tIs Class = " + t.IsClass);
      Console.WriteLine("\tIs Enum = " + t.IsEnum);
      Console.WriteLine("\tAttributes = " + t.Attributes);
    }
