+
+}
+
+
+public class Foo {
+
+       public static void Main( String[] args ) {
+
+              // instantiating class directly
+              Bar bar = new Bar();
+
+              // instantiating class using reflection and TypeInitializer
+              // regarding to MSDN - we use empty parameters
+              // to invoke "default" ctor.
+              Object[] parameters = new Object[0];
+              bar.GetType().TypeInitializer.Invoke( parameters );
+
+       }
+
+}
+
+$ mono Foo.exe
