Applications like Passolo, Alchemy Catalyst and Lingobit Localizer can read DLLs and visualize .NET controls, such as windows, forms, and dialogs. How might something like this be done?
I’m not familiar with those specific applicatios–but they likely use .NET’s Reflection metadata.
An assembly can be loaded (or loaded specifically for reflection) and then all Types within that assembly can be inspected. That inspection could consist of finding types which inherit from a WinForms
Control, or perhaps which inherit from something defined inSystem.Windows.Forms.
