IsAbstract

These properties (among others) allow you to discover a number of

basic traits about the Type you are referring to (e.g., if it is an

IsClass

abstract method, an array, a nested class, and so forth).

GetConstructors()

These methods (among others) allow you to obtain an array 

GetEvents()

representing the items (interface, method, property, etc.) you are 

GetFields()

interested in. Each method returns a related array (e.g., GetFields()

GetInterfaces()

returns a FieldInfo array, GetMethods() returns a MethodInfo array, 

GetMembers()

etc.). Be aware that each of these methods has a singular form (e.g., 

GetMethods()

GetMethod(), GetProperty(), etc.) that allows you to retrieve a 

GetNestedTypes()

specific item by name, rather than an array of all related items.

GetProperties()

FindMembers()

This method returns an array of MemberInfo types based on search

criteria.

GetType()

This static method returns a Type instance given a string name.

InvokeMember()

This method allows late binding to a given item.
