Accepted answer
Reflection is the process by which a computer program can observe and modify its own structure and behaviour". This is exactly how Reflection in C# works, and while you may not realize it at this point, being able to examine and change information about your application during runtime, offers huge potential. Reflection, which is both a general term, as well as the actual name of the reflection capabilities in C#, works very, very well, and it's actually not that hard to use.

There is a whole namespace System.Reflection in .NET base class libraries which provide classes which can be used to get information of assemblies and types in an assembly at runtime, a google search reveals the following good links to learn about it:
