Reflection is a mechanism that allows us to write code that can

inspect types used in the application. For example, using reflection, we can 

list all fields and their values belonging to a given object, even if at 

compile time we don’t know what type it is exactly.

/*Reflection is a feature in the C# programming language that allows code to 

inspect itself at runtime. This means that a program can access its own 

metadata, such as the types, properties, and methods of objects, and use that 

information to modify its own behavior.
