The code used to create this list (.net 1.1) is:
Sub Main()
ReflectionSearch(".*exception$")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
Sub ReflectionSearch(ByVal strPattern As String)
Dim a As Reflection.Assembly
Dim m As Reflection.Module
Dim t As Type
Dim al As New ArrayList
Dim sl As New SortedList
Dim strAssemblyName As String
For Each strAssemblyName In DefaultAssemblyList()
a = Reflection.Assembly.Load(strAssemblyName)
For Each m In a.GetModules
For Each t In m.GetTypes
al.Add(t)
Dim strFullName As String = t.FullName
If Regex.IsMatch(strFullName, strPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase) Then
sl.Add(strFullName, Nothing)
End If
Next
Next
Next
Dim de As DictionaryEntry
For Each de In sl
Console.WriteLine(de.Key)
Next
Console.WriteLine(sl.Count.ToString & " matches for " & strPattern)
End Sub
