Presentation Details
Reflection is an important topic for your all-round deep understanding
of .NET platform mechanics. For example, without reflection, there is no
possibility of dynamic Intellisense. The reflection classes allow you to
dynamically discover, identify and call methods on a class in a DLL.
When you need to get going with Reflection and Attributes, what you
really need is a very good explanation, and solid piece of code that
demonstrates just how to use the API. This session provides both.

Attend this session to see .NET Reflection and custom .NET Attributes in
action-- and to get clear on using Reflection and authoring Custom
Attributes. You exit the session with the complete application, in
commented C#.NET source code.

Topics:

* Reflection Concepts and Facilities
* Reflection in action: extracting classes, methods and method
parameters
* Making the dynamic reflective call via .Invoke
* Three ways to make a dynamic method call: inline, function call, and
using interfaces
* Custom metadata: Why you care, plus: how to write custom attributes
* Using attributes at runtime to tag classes, methods and parameters
* Writing your own framework using Reflection and custom Attributes
