Test for strongly typed views

In asp.net mvc 2 I need to get programatically all the views thar are strongly typed, and show a list for views that are not strongly typed.

How can I do that?

Thanks In Advance.

Strongly-typed views inherit from System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage. Untyped views inherit from System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage. N.B. ViewPage inherits from ViewPage. You would have to load up the compiled assembly containing the views (generated via aspnet_compiler.exe) and then run the following LINQ-to-Objects queries:

var stronglyTypedViews = from type in assemblyContainingViews.GetTypes()
                         where typeof(ViewPage<>).IsAssignableFrom(type)
                         select type;
var weaklyTypedViews = from type in assemblyContainingViews.GetTypes()
                       where typeof(ViewPage).IsAssignableFrom(type)
                          && !typeof(ViewPage<>).IsAssignableFrom(type)
                       select type;
