I follow these articles from a C# point of view. I took the liberty in translating the reflection example into C#. (Obs. I load the \Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\mscorlib.dll in this example).Compile with "csc *.cs" and run ReflectionDemo.exeReflectionDemo.cs:using System.Windows.Forms;using Reflection.Form;namespace Reflection{public class ReflectionDemo{public static void Main(){ReflectionForm theReflectionForm = new ReflectionForm();Application.Run(theReflectionForm);}}}ReflectionForm.cs:using System;using System.Windows.Forms;using System.ComponentModel;using System.Drawing;using System.Reflection;namespace Reflection.Form{public class ReflectionForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form{private Container PreContainer;private StatusBar stBar;private Button btnLoad;private TreeView TV;public void btnLoad_Click(Object Sender, EventArgs E){String SysRoot;Assembly Assm;System.Type[] t;int i, iprop;int PropertyCount = 0;int MethodCount = 0;int FieldCount = 0;int EventCount = 0;;TreeNode TN, TNProp, TNMethod, TNEvent, TNField;SysRoot = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("systemroot");try{Assm = Assembly.LoadFrom(SysRoot + "\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v1.0.3705\\mscorlib.dll");t = Assm.GetTypes();for (i = 0; i < Assm.GetTypes().Length; i++){TN = TV.Nodes.Add(t[i].Name);PropertyCount = PropertyCount + t[i].GetProperties().GetUpperBound(0) + 1;TNProp = TN.Nodes.Add("Properties");for (iprop = 0; iprop < t[i].GetProperties().Length; iprop++)TNProp.Nodes.Add(t[i].GetProperties().GetValue(iprop).ToString());MethodCount = MethodCount + t[i].GetMethods().GetUpperBound(0) + 1;TNMethod = TN.Nodes.Add("Methods");for (iprop = 0; iprop < t[i].GetMethods().Length; iprop++)TNMethod.Nodes.Add(t[i].GetMethods().GetValue(iprop).ToString());FieldCount = FieldCount + t[i].GetFields().GetUpperBound(0) + 1;TNField = TN.Nodes.Add("Fields");for (iprop= 0; iprop < t[i].GetFields().Length; iprop++)TNField.Nodes.Add(t[i].GetFields().GetValue(iprop).ToString());EventCount = EventCount + t[i].GetEvents().GetUpperBound(0) + 1;TNEvent = TN.Nodes.Add("Events");for (iprop = 0; iprop < t[i].GetEvents().Length; iprop++)TNEvent.Nodes.Add(t[i].GetEvents().GetValue(iprop).ToString());}}catch(Exception ex){MessageBox.Show("Kaboom!!

if you don't have more than the official ²Net framework downloaded, make caution to modify the :\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\mscorlib.dllin\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\mscorlib.dllWorks very fine !!Regards from DoubleTree in S.J.stjo.com - stjo.net²Net Borland France
