Inspecting Types at Runtime

Reflection becomes useful the moment you treat a Type as something you can walk, query, and call into. This lesson is about the practical mechanics: listing the members of a type, reading and writing property and field values dynamically, invoking methods on an instance or on the type itself, constructing objects when you only have a Type handle, and doing all of this for generics. We'll put the pieces together and build a small serializer that walks a Product and prints Name = Value lines without knowing anything about it at compile time.
