I am trying to determine which assembly contains a particular class. I do NOT want to create an instance of a type in that assembly, but want something like this

namespace SomeAssembly
{
   class SomeClass
    {
    }
}

..and In client code I want:

Assembly containingAssembly = GetContainingAssembly(SomeClass)
