Getting all types that implement an interface

Using reflection, this is how we get all types that implement an interface with C# 3.0/.NET 3.5 with the least code, and minimizing iterations.

var type = typeof(IMyInterface);
var types = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
    .SelectMany(s => s.GetTypes())
    .Where(p => type.IsAssignableFrom(p));

Basically, the least amount of iterations will always be:

loop assemblies  
 loop types  
  see if implemented.

When to use <> instead of ()

When we are suppose to use different parentheses in C#. When I run into a situation where i am trying to tell if i need to put <> or ().

The dumbed down version to explain is this;

() are for variables. <> are for types. If you have both, <> always comes first.

You would never has A(int). It would be A<int>. You’d also never have B<5>. It would always be B(5). And, rule two, you might have C<int>(5), but never C(5)<int>.

<> are used in generics.
