Now again, this is a bit of a pedagogical exercise, because obviously we see the type information right here for point. But you could easily imagine building such a utility to duplicate the functionality of ILdasm, and/or couple of other scenarios, such as, for example, if you wanted to build your own serialization framework, you're on object relational mapper, et cetera, you would use these techniques. I'm just keeping point inside the same assembly, to make it easier to do the demo, to be very blunt. To do Reflection, the one thing we will need is we will need the system.reflection namespace. So, we'll just bring that in using a using statement. And then, just to give us a basic idea of what we're working with, let's go ahead and get a hold of the point type just to be able to display what we get.
