defines where execution begins. This is why the 

Demo

 class contained a placeholder 

Main( )

method. Such a method is not required by a DLL. If you try making 

MyClass

 into a DLL, 

you will need to change the call to 

LoadFrom( )

 as shown here:

Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFrom("MyClasses.dll");

Fully Automating Type Discovery

Before we leave the topic of reflection, one last example will be instructive. Even though the 

preceding program was able to fully use 

MyClass

 without explicitly specifying 

MyClass

 in 

the program, it still relied upon prior knowledge of the contents of 

MyClass

. For example, 

the program knew the names of its methods, such as
