you can iterate through the properties and get the value.

Custom Attributes can be retrieved.

Load an assembly dynamically and create instances.

Advantages: Reflection improves the flexibility and expansibility, reduce the coupling, to improve the adaptive ability. It allows programs to create and control object of any kind, no advance hard coded target class.

Disadvantages:
1, performance problems: use reflection to basically is a kind of explanation for operation, field and method access is much slower than direct code. So the system frame reflection mechanism is mainly used in a very high requirements for flexibility and expansibility, ordinary procedure does not recommend the use of.

2, The use of reflection will be fuzzy program internal logic: the programmer wants to see the logic of the program in the source code, reflection and bypass the source code technology, which will bring the maintenance problems. Reflection code is more complex than the corresponding direct code.
As for the execution efficiency, also, because it is a strongly typed language, the execution efficiency. However, recommendations will be reflected later, Bao Cunjin cache.

Thanks, Hope it will help you..
