System.Reflection Namespace

The System.Reflection namespace provides classes that allow you to declare attributes in assemblies. It also allows the run-time discovery of types and other characteristics in an assembly and has the ability to dynamically create and invoke types. It is implemented in the mscorlib.dll assembly.
