Is it possible to extend the “Analyze” feature of Reflector?

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to extend the analyze functionality of Reflector? When you select a type and click "Analyze" and then in that analyze window you get the options of "Depends On", "Used By", "Exposed By" or "Instantiated By". I would like to get that output and send it to a file.

Thanks in advance, Allan

Answer 1

There is a list addins for reflector here and the first one seems to do what you want. I have not tried it myself.

Update: A better link to codeplex for reflector add ins link text It includes a file disassembler add in

The first link I posted at codebetter.com is pretty old.

Edit:

You might want to try NDepend instead

Answer 2

To the best of my knowledge, the Analyze part of Reflector is not easily extended. However if a all you want to get is a listing of what is shown in the Analyze tree (it is a TreeView control) ... then I maybe able to help you with this. It sounds like it would fit nicely into the PowerCommands for Reflector project I work on (http://powercommands.codeplex.com/).

Are you just wanting to export a listing of the (unexpanded) nodes in the tree ... say under 'Used By'? I could write a export or copy as text to output the node list as text. Is that about what you are looking for?
