I would like to parse an assembly qualified name in .NET 3.5. In particular, the assembly itself is not available, it's just the name. I can think of many ways of doing it by hand but I guess I might be missing some feature to do that in the system libraries. Any suggestion?

The assembly-qualified name of a type consists of the type name, including its namespace, followed by a comma, followed by the display name of the assembly. The display name of an assembly is obtained using the Assembly. FullName property.
An assembly qualified name is the internal name of the assembly, combained with the Assebly Version, Culture, and public Key: these cobination make it unique. An assembly's name is stored in metadata and has a significant impact on the assembly's scope and use by an application.
The AssemblyName class can parse the assembly name for you, just pass in the string to its constructor. If you have an assembly qualified type name, I think you'll have to strip of the type part of the string first (ie everything up to the first comma).
