.NET / C# - Reflection Help - Classes in an Assembly

Question

What is the best way to loop through an assembly, and for each class in the assembly list out it's "SuperClass"?

Answer 1

homework?

    Assembly assembly = typeof(DataSet).Assembly; // etc
    foreach (Type type in assembly.GetTypes())
    {
        if (type.BaseType == null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(type.Name);
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine(type.Name + " : " + type.BaseType.Name);
        }
    }

note that generics and nested types have funky names, any you might want to use FullName to include the namespace.

Answer 2

Assembly.GetTypes and Type.BaseType:

Assembly a;
foreach(var type in a.GetTypes()) {
    Console.WriteLine(
        String.Format("{0} : {1}", 
            type.Name, 
            type.BaseType == null ? String.Empty : type.BaseType.Name
        );
}

Answer 3

foreach(Type type in assembly.GetTypes()) {
  var isChild = type.IsSubclassOf(typeof(parentClass))
}
