Reflection code is slow. With Reflection you can invoche all method and can
see all code! This is not good idea if you don't now who use your code!
If I declare a function private is because this can be used only by my code
class. If another class invoke this function in the wrong way can make
disaster an application, or not?
If your class expose a public interface you can use this without now its
Type.
interface IHello
{
void write();
}
class Hello : IHello //english class
{
public void write()
{
Console.Writeln("Hello");
}
}
class Ciao : IHello //italian class
{
public void write()
{
Console.Writeln( "Ciao");
}
}
//Program
void Begin(IHello h)
{
h.write();
}
if IHello is Ciao class the program write "Ciao" otherwise write "Hello",
but your code never change!
Interface can be compiled in separated project so you can have dll with only
interface and no code. User in this way can develop UserControl without your
code!

Your example is a big help--thank you!

> Earl, afaik, you're on exactly the right track--getting them from disk at
runtime is one of the big advantages of user controls. There's a pretty
good discussion of dynamic user controls in Walther's ASP.NET Unleashed
book, but it stops short of telling you how to go back and get methods and
properties in the parent page.
