How do I get Assembly name from full assembly string?

I have a string like this:

"MyProduct.Framework.Business.ShopBusiness"

But the assembly name it self is only:

"MyProduct.Framework.Business"

I need to create a string like this:

"MyProduct.Framework.Business.ShopBusiness, MyProduct.Framework.Business"

Because I'm trying to solve this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3512351/375422

So basically I have this:

Type executingClass = Type.GetType(TestContext.FullyQualifiedTestClassName);

And I need something like this:

Type executingClass = Type.GetType(TestContext.FullyQualifiedTestClassName + ", " + Assembly.FromString(TestContext.FullyQualifiedTestClassName));

Is there any built-in method as I invented "Assembly.FromString()" above?

In other words: How can I get Assembly Name of the executing test from TestContext?

There is no direct link between class namespace and assembly name. So, generally, it's not possible to get fully qualified name from class name only.

Find position of last "." and substring to that position.

var fullTypeName = "MyProduct.Framework.Business.ShopBusiness";
var typeIndex = assemblyTypeName.LastIndexOf(".");
var namespace = assemblyTypeName.Substring(0, assemblyIndex);

Then add your namespace:

var assemblyQualifiedTypeName = fullTypeName + ", " + namespace
