I need to show a list of all the IDbConnection inheritors
so any new ADO.net driver installed can be selected from a
user interface.

What i was trying to do ca be resumed to:

Type [] types = Type.GetTypes ( "System.Data.*" )

(which ís not valid)

Any solution?

It won't be that easy. There's no global list of all assemblies
installed on a system. You'll have to find and load the assemblies you
are interested in, and from there find the types that implement
IDbConnection. Also, there's no guarantee that such types are located
in the System.Data namespace.

Sort of like what COM categories used to do.
