I have a .Net class which is registered with COM with a GUID and this class
is registered in a component category. In another .net app, I want to loop
through all the registered CLSIDs in the component category but I can't
figure out how to create a _pure_ .Net object from the CLSID. I can use
System.Type.GetTypeFromCLSID but it always returns System.__COM type. I was
wondering if it is possible to check if the type is .Net based and to trace
back to the assembly where this .Net type is defined.

Thanks for any help!

In registry under HKCR/CLSID get the GUID of the class. Then in
HKCR/CLSID/{your guid}/InprocServer32/Assembly is the the full name of
the assembly. And if you have registered it with /codebase, in CodeBase
key will be the full path to it.

Duh, I was wrong on System.Type.GetTypeFromCLSID. It will return a .Net type
if it is a CLISD pointing to a .Net component, not always System.__COM type
as I mentioned in the first post. I can easily retrieve the assembly from
System.Type then.
