Hi !

Is there a way to get the names of all classes derived from a baseclass
? I haven't found anything obvious in the API documentation so far.

Thanks
Lars

It may not be the most efficient way, but you can iterate over all the
types (classes) in your assembly and test Type.IsSubclassOf for each
one.

Eq.

Lars, Would you like to get the names of all classes derived from a base
class at a particular point in time?

If so that could be achieved by modifying the architecture to include a
factory class responsible for the creation of the classes of the type base
and/or have a collection in the factory class to store the TypeOf
information about each derived class while it is being instantiated.

All the derived classes of the type base should be created through this
factory class.
