"Creating Even More Exceptional Exceptions" from Jeff Atwood

Today i found a very nice blog entry, only sickness its vb.net ;-) (sorry jeff)

to original can be found here

thanks jeff for the nice idea.

here the same in C#

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Configuration;

namespace ExceptionalExceptions
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Started ...");
ReflectionSearch(".*exception$");

Console.ReadLine();
}

private static void ReflectionSearch(string strPattern)
{
Assembly a;
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
SortedList sl = new SortedList();

foreach(string strAssemblyName in DefaultAssemblyList())
{
a = Assembly.Load(strAssemblyName);
foreach(Module m in a.GetModules())
{
foreach(Type t in m.GetTypes())
{
al.Add(t);
string full = t.FullName;
if(Regex.IsMatch(full, strPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
{
if(!sl.ContainsKey(full))
sl.Add(full, null);
}
}
}
}

foreach(DictionaryEntry de in sl)
{
Console.WriteLine(de.Key);
}
Console.WriteLine(sl.Count.ToString() + " matches for " + strPattern);



}
