.Net reflection and obfuscation

I have an ongoing argument with a fellow programmer. I am of the opinion that Reflection fails to work when the code is obfuscated. The other guy is of the opinion that .Net reflection is invariant (i.e. continues to work) under code obfuscation.

Despite many Google searches, we have not been able to find any documentation to prove the case - one way or the other. Does anyone know of any reputable documents/publications that have a definite answer to this ?
