Finding all classes within a namespace

[TheNedMan]

Is there a way to find all classes within a namespace
(programmatically)? I've played around with reflection a bit and it
seems that you can only find members of classes, not classes within a
namespace.

e.g., How would I find all classes within the namespace "System.Web"?

Any ideas?

Hi,

Since a namespace is only a "virtual" structure (which means that there is
no "Namespace"-Class, every class just knows her Namespace) you need to get
all the Types and check the "Namespace"-Property ...

Thanks, that makes sense now. How would I get all possible .NET
classes ? (in order to then query the namespace property)
