How Does All of This Relate to C# Programming?
Notice how traditionally statically typed programming languages like C# can also take advantage of the DLR infrastructure to reach out to the world of dynamic typing where appropriate. This is precisely what the C# 4.0 dynamic feature is about, which we get into later in this chapter, as well as in the next chapter.
When writing code as shown in the following fragment, one defers the discovery of the member used in the method call until runtime.
