Why are you wanting to do that? Can you describe more generally what kind of application you are making and what you are trying to do? From your short description of your scenario you sound like you are looking for "reflection" but you want to avoid reflection in general. there is pretty much always a better option than reflection nowadays

A simple solution with reflection would be as follows:

Type[] types = typeof(Entity).Assembly.GetTypes().Where(x =>
                                                            !x.IsAbstract &&
                                                            x.IsSubclassOf(typeof(Entity))).ToArray();

Type[] types = typeof(Entity).Assembly.GetTypes().Where(x =>
                                                            !x.IsAbstract &&
                                                            x.IsSubclassOf(typeof(Entity))).ToArray();

although you'd definitely only want to do this once and cache it somewhere

Was this issue resolved? If so, run /close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
