If there is any requirement in your application to add reference to a 3rd party dlls you dont know what are all the methods properties events are available in that dll. So to know the indepth of that assembly reflection is used. Through reflection you can iterate all the properties methods or events available in it. Eg:- string sAssemblyName = GetValidAssembly(args); Assembly assem = Assembly.LoadFrom(sAssemblyName); Type[] types = assem.GetTypes(); foreach (Type t in types) { try { Console.WriteLine(Type information for: + t.FullName); Console.WriteLine(	Base class =  + t.BaseType.FullName); Console.WriteLine(	Is Class =  + t.IsClass); Console.WriteLine(	Is Enum =  + t.IsEnum); Console.WriteLine(	Attributes =  + t.Attributes); }
