Yes. In fact mono's own C# compiler, mcs, uses reflection extensively.

Reflection has no concept of a 'namespace' as such. However you can
query a Type for its namespace (as a string).

In order to enumerate all the namespaces of the loaded types you have
to:
1) get the list of assemblies from the appdomain
(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies ())
2) get the list of types from the assemblies (assembly.GetTypes ())
3) build a set of namespaces from the individual types (type.Namespace)

<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; Hello,</FONT>

&gt; Is the System.Reflection class avaible in the =
current mono?

<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; Is there any tool that is provided with mono for =
discovering </FONT>

&gt; methods etc.? Can the Reflection class be used =
to discover

&gt; classes in a given namespace? Can the Reflection =

&gt; used to discover all namespaces available? If =
not is there

&gt; any other way to get this done? thanks.
