Visual Basic .NET Reflection Handbook

Reflection is an object oriented programming function or mechanism that allows one object to examine another to determine information about its type and properties and then to extend that functionality to additional purposes. With it developers can write code that can interact with objects that do not yet exist. Without using reflection a developer can only access objects of types that exist at the time they write their program. Reflection is important to .NET programmers because it is built into .NET's functionality.Hart, James is the author of 'Visual Basic .NET Reflection Handbook' with ISBN 9781861007599 and ISBN 1861007590.
