Sometimes I find it a littl bit interesting that .NET community typically lag behind Java community in general (be careful interpreting general vs all).

In Java, the best known book that can be considered comparable with Jon Skeet book is written by Josh Bloch of SUN, Google, and API design fame. He literally suggested to avoid Reflection and use other features unless you are in the business of writing IDE, compiler, code analysis, etc.

I hvae done Reflection in the past and fow not to do that stupid move again and will spend more time figuring other solution. It is not about I cannot grasp Reflection but the code tend to be less elegant, less readable, and not compiled safe.

I would use dynamic languages if I found myself using Reflection a lot.
