How do I run Object Browser directly from Windows and not from Visual Studio?
I’m using Object Browser to study .Net classes. It’s much better than MSDN, because it allows me to skip derived members.
For example, when I research AnimationTimeline I don’t have to wade through all the Timeline clutter. I only see what has been added to the derived AnimationTimeline. It’s easier to navigate. However, it’s a bother to open VS just so that I can use object browser.
Try Telerik JustDecompile. It’s not exactly Visual Studio’s object browser, but it’s free, and because it decompiles the code, you can see exactly what it’s going to do.
You can also find references to a particular class, method, or field.
The available Extensions allow you to de-obfuscate or modify the code in an assembly to which you do not have the source code.
Another option is ILSpy. However, development seems to have largely ceased in favor of SharpDevelop.
