        Type objType = typeof(System.Array);

        // Print the full assembly name.
        Console.WriteLine ("Full assembly name:\n   {0}.", 
                           objType.Assembly.FullName.ToString()); 

        // Print the qualified assembly name.
        Console.WriteLine ("Qualified assembly name:\n   {0}.",
