How to get a Type by string without specifying the assembly name, if it's among loaded asms

Okay, it's been forever since I had to do this in C#, but I need to get a Type by name without having to specify the assembly name, if it is among the currently loaded assemblies for the app domain. What's the best way to do this. Basically I want it to do what Type.GetType() does but a bit more permissive in that it searches all loaded assemblies instead of just the calling assembly when it comes to nonqualified names

Iterate AppDomain.GetAssemblies and try and retrieve your desired type from each one

Thanks, that's what I was going to do. I just didn't want to go off half cocked if there was a better way. 🙂
