Dictionary typeCache;
...
public static bool TryFindType(string typeName, out Type t) {
    lock (typeCache) {
        if (!typeCache.TryGetValue(typeName, out t)) {
            foreach (Assembly a in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()) {
                t = a.GetType(typeName);
                if (t != null)
                    break;
            }
            typeCache[typeName] = t; // perhaps null
        }
    }
    return t != null;
