Get a list of all of a class's base types recursively
HI Experts,
The title says it all: How do I get a list of all of a class's base types recursively.
So if I have this:
interface A
{ }
class B : A
{ }
class C : B
{ }
I would like a list containing A, B, and C.
I could do it using reflection and recursively get object.BaseType.Name over and over again, but is there anything else built into the framework?
Thanks!

Ok, I'm not worried about interfaces, but how would reflection give me the names of all of a Type's base types without putting BaseType.Name into a recursive function of somekind.
Otherwise, i would get a list of ALL Types in the assmbly even if they are not related to each other what so ever...

As I stated in my original post, I know I have a way of obtaining the info by using a recursive function, I was just hoping I guess that there was a better way of doing it.

To get the base classes, yes, you can use reflection. It doesn't need to be recursive, though.
