The ability of code to access the metadata of the assembly during runtime is called Reflection. A program reflects upon itself and uses the metadata to:
- Inform the user, or
- Modify the behavior
The system contains all classes and methods that manage the information of all the loaded types and methods. Reflection namespace. Implementation of reflection is in 2 steps:
- Get the type of the object, then
- Use the type to identify members, such as properties and methods
