Code Red > .NET
dll reader
T.Willey:
When I'm trying to code something new that I don't know what the properties and methods are, it would be helpful to have another window open to see what properties and methods an object has. I know you can switch between them, and that is what I do now, but I lose my place all the time. I have searched the net, and have found nothing. Does anyone know of a program to view the dll files to see what properties they have? Or know how to take that window in SharpDevelop and have it exist on its own when coding?
Any help is appreciated. Hope the question makes sense, it was kind of hard for me to explain it.

Well, you could always load the dll into AutoCAD using vlisp then search using the apropos window. I have found many methods I didn't know existed by that method .. but another method is to download a program called depends .. which lists the dependencies of a dll (imports from other dlls) and the exposed functions of the selected dll. This is useful when trying to hack undocumented APIs of other programs ... for example, you can run the depends program on AutoCAD and find all of the exported functions, you can load and use them in your own program, except most won't work in programs that are not loaded directly into the AutoCAD process.

Keith,
I don't know how to use vlide, so I couldn't figure it out when I did a quick look just now. I also downloaded the the depends program, but it looks like you have to know a lot about computers and programing to uderstand it completely, so guess what.... I didn't find what I was looking for in it, but I may one day. :-) Thanks for the tips.
Kerry,
This looks like what I was looking for. I remember you talking about it before now, but didn't see it in my searches today.
Thank you both.
Kerry:
.. and it has a search option which is great
