Reflection not working for DevExpress.XtraGrid dll

Question

I am using Reflection to get all the Types of DevExpress.XtraGrid assembly, but its throwing me the ReflectionTypeLoadException within a windows app. My Code:

var DLL = Assembly.LoadFile(@"D:\References\DevExpress.XtraGrid.v7.3.dll");
var theType1 = DLL1.GetTypes();//exception here

Actually I want to get all properties of Type DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn class within the dll.just tried to get all Types as its not getting for the Type mentioned.I want this:

var DLL1 = Assembly.LoadFile(@"D:\References\DevExpress.XtraGrid.v7.3.dll");
var theType1 = DLL1.GetType("DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn");//theType1 is giving null

I have tested the same for System.Windows.Forms.Label Type in System.Windows.Forms dll. It worked perfectly, donno why not for DevExpress controls.

yes you will get error because DevExpress.XtraGrid is depend on another dll.i think you have to load all dll that is required to DevExpress.XtraGrid dll
