public class Car : IVehicle {
}

var vehicles = Assemblies.FindAllTypesInheriting<IVehicle,NameAttribute>

Searches only in a single assembly, defaulting to 'CallingAssembly'.

public static string GetEmbeddedResource(string relativeName, Assembly assembly = null)

X

var text = Assemblies.GetEmbeddedResource("Folder/SubFolder/SubFolder2/json.text");
Assert.IsTrue(text.Contains("hello world"));
// assume a file in Solution Explorer exists at "~/Folder/SubFolder/SubFolder2/json.txt"
// assume "json.txt" has build action 'Embedded Resource'
// assume "json.txt" contains 'hello world' this is now true
