6 ways of doing locking in .NET (Pessimistic and optimistic) 

This article talks about 6 ways of doing locking in .NET. It starts with concurrency problems and then discusses about 3 ways of doing optimistic locking. As optimistic locking does not solve the concurrency issues from roots, it introduces pessimistic locking. It then moves ahead to explain how isolation levels can help us implement pessimistic locking. Each isolation level is explained with sample demonstration to make concepts clearer.

When reflection is used along with system.type, it allows the developer to get the valuable information about all the types and about the assemblies. We can even create the instances and then invoke various types that are used across the application.
