Getting all types in a namespace via reflection (11 answers)

Closed 7 years ago.

I need to programmatically get a List of all the classes in a given namespace. How can I achieve this (reflection?) in C#?

Answer 1

Take a look at this How to get all classes within namespace? the answer provided returns an array of Type[] you can modify this easily to return List

Answer 2

Without LINQ:

Try:

Type[] types = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes();
List<Type> myTypes = new List<Type>();
foreach (Type t in types)
{
  if (t.Namespace=="My.Fancy.Namespace")
    myTypes.Add(t);
}

Answer 3

var theList = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes()
                      .Where(t => t.Namespace == "your.name.space")
                      .ToList();

Answer 4

I can only think of looping through types in an assebly to find ones iin the correct namespace

public List<Type> GetList()
        {
            List<Type> types = new List<Type>();
            var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            foreach (var type in assembly .GetTypes())
            {
                if (type.Namespace == "Namespace")
                {
                    types.Add(type);
                }
            }
            return types;
        }
