Can you enumerate all inherited classes?

[jacques]

Hi all,

I've written a load of classes which inherit from another base class
which I've written. Is it possible to enumerate all the classes which
inherit from a particular base class? I'd like to dynamically produce
a list or collection of all these classes, so when I add another
dirved class or dll containing a dirved class which inheirts from my
base class it will appear in my list/collection.

Hope someone can help. any ideas?

Sorry I babbled a bit there!

In short, how can I get a list of types/classes which inherit from
another class?

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes

From there you can loop through all the types in the class and check what
they inherit from or implement.

I'll give this a go then... thanks
