Use C#'s Reflection to Retrieve Application Information
Just as you can reflect, it's possible to have a C# program reflect upon itself.
For example, you can have a class reflect upon itself and this will tell you the methods or properties it contains. You'll find that being able to reflect on a program, a class, a type, or any other item enables you to take better advantage of it and its attributes.

If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible. Submit your tip here.
