This is totally not a good idea.

Not a good idea...

Invoking private methods can be a good idea when you need consume a class in a way in which the author had not imagined or catered for. I have used reflection to automate .NET products which were not designed for automation (code conversion).

Is also very useful to loop through the internal controls, for example I use some code to hide the Status bar of the crystal report viewer and to change some values in winforms controls =) of course that nothing of this cant be posible without REFLECTOR.

Best Regards
