Obtaining a Type’s Constructors

In the previous example, there is no advantage to using reflection to invoke methods on 

MyClass

 since an object of type 

MyClass

 was explicitly created. It would be easier to just 

call its methods normally. However, the power of reflection starts to become apparent when 

an object is created dynamically at runtime. To do this, you will need to first obtain a list 

of the constructors. Then, you will create an instance of the type by invoking one of the 

constructors. This mechanism allows you to instantiate any type of object at runtime 

without naming it in a declaration statement.
