Can anyone explain whether I can programmatically iterate through
Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and discover the assemblies that support
the certain interface? I know that I can discover the assemblies
that support the certain interface located in specified (let say
plug in) directory, but I can't find any way to iterate through
GAC. Please help. Thanks.
