I am looking at an abstract class in Visual Studio 2010’s object browser. I would like to find all classes that descend from this abstract class so I can choose the best one to implement in my application. I do not have the source code for this assembly, so I can’t use the find in files feature.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find out how to do this at all. Visual Studio docs and Google just return completely irrelevant articles, so either I’m using the wrong terminology or this feature simply doesn’t exist.
The best advice I’ve received is “analyse the assembly with redgate reflector”, but surely there has to be a better way.
Thank you for your time.
Install the Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools, then use its souped-up tooltip.
