Answer 1

You can use the following code to get all types that implement IRepository<> interface:

List typesImplementingIRepository = new List();
IEnumerable allTypesInThisAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes();

foreach (Type type in allTypesInThisAssembly)
{
    if (type.GetInterface(typeof(IRepository<>).Name.ToString()) != null)
    {
        typesImplementingIRepository.Add(type);
    }
}
