One place where you might decide to use the dynamic keyword is when you are working with reflection services, specifically when making late bound method calls. Back in Chapter 15, you saw a few examples of when this type of method call can be very useful, most commonly when you are building some type of extensible application. At that time, you learned how to use the Activator.CreateInstance() method to create an object, for which you have no compile time knowledge of (beyond its display name).
