I want to be able to create a list of all classes that inherit a specified interface within a given namespace.
Here is a quick bit of code that will give you a list of System.Type wich will contain all classes that inherit the specified interface.
Import the System.Reflection Namespace
Imports System.Reflection
'// Response Dim Resp As New Generic.List(Of System.Type) '// Gets the Assembly Dim MyAssembly As [Assembly] MyAssembly = [Assembly].GetAssembly(GetType(~interface or class in namespace~)) '// Traverse all Types For Each t As System.Type In MyAssembly.GetTypes() If t.GetInterface(GetType(~inherited interface~).ToString) IsNot Nothing Then Resp.Add(t) End If Next
You will be left with a System.Type list containing classes that inherit the specified interface.
