          <para>The <see cref="M:System.ComponentModel.Design.IComponentDiscoveryService.GetComponentTypes(System.ComponentModel.Design.IDesignerHost,System.Type)" /> method retrieves the list of available component types, which are types implementing the <see cref="T:System.ComponentModel.IComponent" /> interface. If the <paramref name="baseType" /> parameter is null, all components are retrieved; otherwise, only component types derived from <paramref name="baseType" /> are returned.</para>
          <para>When you pass in a value for the <paramref name="designerHost" /> parameter, type resolution is scoped to <paramref name="designerHost" />. This means that if there is a <see cref="T:System.Drawing.Design.ToolboxItem" /> whose type is on disk, and not in the global assembly cache, its type will fail to load through <paramref name="designerHost" />.</para>
          <para>If you pass in null for <paramref name="designerHost" />, it returns all types that can be queried from the global assembly cache or the <see cref="Overload:System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom" /> method.</para>
