Work with Reflection using C#.Net :: A Comprehensive approach for retrieving of metadata information

Agenda :
            Dear all In this article i would like to emphasize the essence of Work with Reflection using C#.Net :: A Comprehensive approach for retrieving of metadata information.This was demonstrated with the help of C#.Net using Linq To SQl.

Description :
          In previous articles I explained different articles related toC#.Net,Asp.Net,Sql Server,XML and DotNetInterviewQuestions Related articles.Let's know how we will work with Work with Reflection using C#.Net :: A Comprehensive approach for retrieving of metadata information



About Reflection :

• Reflection is used to retrieve the metadata information on types at Runtime.
• Metadata describes about assemblies, modules and types.
• In order to work with reflection we have to use the System.Runtime Namespace
• We can use reflection to dynamically  create an instance of a type, bind the type to an existing object.

Types defined in System.Reflection :

• Assembly
• Module
• Enum
• MethodInfo
• ConstructorInfo
• MemberInfo
• ParameterInfo
• TypeInfo
• FieldInfo
• EventInfo
• PropertyInfo

Steps to implement Reflection Concept:

• Create a Console Application
• Declare a Class
• Declare a Properties Inside a Class
• Declare a Constructor inside a class
• Declare a Method inside a class
• Create a type and access properties, constructor and method information of a class 

Complete Example Source Code :

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

using System.Reflection;

namespace FMTDemo

{

    class P1

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            Type type = typeof(MyClass);

            PropertyInfo[] propertyInfo = type.GetProperties();

            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.DarkRed;

            Console.WriteLine("List of Properties....");

            Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Blue;

            foreach (var item in propertyInfo)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(item.Name);

            }

            ConstructorInfo[] constructorInfo = type.GetConstructors();

            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.DarkRed;

            Console.WriteLine("List of Constructors...");

            Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;

            foreach (ConstructorInfo item in constructorInfo)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(item);

            }

            MethodInfo[] methodInfo = type.GetMethods();

            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.DarkRed;

            Console.WriteLine("List of Methods...");

            Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;

            foreach (var item in methodInfo)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(item.Name);

            }

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }

    class MyClass

    {

        public int MyProperty { get; set; }

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public bool IsDataExists { get; set; }

        public DateTime DateOfJoin { get; set; }

        public MyClass()

        {

        }

        public void A()

        {

            Console.WriteLine("A");

        }

        public void B()

        {

            Console.WriteLine("B");

        }

        public void C()

        {

            Console.WriteLine("C");

        }

    }
