As per the title. I'd like a list of all the inner classes of a given class, it can be a list of names or a list of types - I am not fussed. Is this possible? I thought there might be a way using reflection but haven't been able to find one.

You want Type.GetNestedTypes. This will give you the list of types, which you can then query for their names.
