Cool - I went through all the System namespaces and found:
Class count: 4760
Method count: 119656
The code is below. Anything I'm messing up here? Thanks again.

Yeah, I was afraid you were going to ask that. You can just figure out
the list manually by using gacutil, or looking at the dlls in the
framework install directory. That's no fun of course, and what you'd
really like to be able to do is get at that programatically, which
appears to be possible, but undocumented, and certainly is progressing a
bit beyond the trivial:

I found that link here, which is a nice overview of the GAC:

Great idea. I looked at the quickstart example John refered to in this
thread. I pasted it below. The only problem I'm seeing with reflection
is that you need to know the names of all the dlls. OR, is there a list of
these someplace?
Thanks again.

You could write a fairly trivial program that loaded all the .NET
assemblies, and used reflection to count up the classes and methods. I'm
too busy, or I'd do it myself for the fun of it, but it would be a good
way to introduce yourself to reflection if you've never played with it
before, and in itself would be a good demonstration of the
sophistication of the framework.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Perhaps .... out of curiosity? While
Idon't see the number being included in the next release of trivial
pursuit,
the numbers would be intellectually interesting when describing some of
the
complexities of the .NET Framework to management or others ...
Do you have the answer?
