How to locate assembly-qualified name

[Larry Smith]

Hi there,

How can I convert this:

"System.Windows.Forms.Form"

to this:

"System.Windows.Forms.Form, System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"

Note that I'm dealing with native .NET types only. Thank you.

Have you tried something like this yet?

Type myType = Type.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.Form"); // or typeof(System.WIndows.Forms.Form)
myType.AssemblyQualifiedName.

Thanks for the feedback. Foolish me. I looked at it but misunderstood its
argument. I thought it required an assembly-qualified name which is what I'm
trying to get of course (creating a chicken-and-egg scenario). After reading
further down however I now see it takes any name. One test later and (lo and
behold) it works. Thanks again (mea culpa)
