Creating instance of type without default constructor in C# using reflection

I originally posted this answer here, but here is a reprint since this isn’t the exact same question but has the same answer:

FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject() will create an instance without calling a constructor. I found this class by using Reflector and digging through some of the core .Net serialization classes.

I tested it using the sample code below and it looks like it works great:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

namespace NoConstructorThingy
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            MyClass myClass = (MyClass)FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(MyClass)); //does not call ctor
            myClass.One = 1;
            Console.WriteLine(myClass.One); //write "1"
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

    public class MyClass
    {
        public MyClass()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MyClass ctor called.");
        }

        public int One
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }
}
