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 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).
