// expects the strongly typed name of the type.

// To obtain type information in a more flexible manner, you may call the static GetType() member of the System.Type
// class and specify the fully qualified string name of the type you are interested in examining. Using this approach,
// you do not need to have compile-time knowledge of the type you are extracting metadata from, given that Type.GetType()
// takes an instance of the omnipresent System.String
// The Type.GetType() method has been overloaded to allow you to specify two Boolean parameters, one of which controls
// whether an exception should be thrown if the type cannot be found, and the other of which establishes the case sensitivity of the string.
