Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Which namespace to use: System.Reflection o r System.ComponentMode l

Thank you, Ian. Based upon your excellent and thorough examination of this subject, I've decided to continue using Reflection, and not get sidetracked with the nuances of Property/Event Descriptors. If the need arises to extend or hide members, I'll reconsider. For now, the requirements are simpl
