Getting Interfaces and Methods from DLL

[slewrate]

Hello, I have a DLL that contains several interfaces. I am trying to get the function signatures of all the functions that are implemented in these interfaces.

If anybody could show me an easy way how to do this right, I would really appreciate it.

Try to download RedGate's .NET Reflector you can get a free version of it off download.com.

well, you see, I have something like this:

 Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFile("mydll.dll");
 attributes = asm.GetExportedTypes();
 
 foreach (Type type in typelist)
 {
                rt.Text += type.ToString();
                               
                MemberInfo[] memlist = type.GetMembers();
                
                rt.Text += "------Members-----";
                rt.Text += "\n";
                foreach (MemberInfo mem in memlist)
                {
                    rt.Text += mem.ToString();
                    
                }
                         
}

This gives me pretty much what I want, however, I figured that some of the interfaces do have base types and I can't read them.

Any suggestions ?

Well you'll need to check the BindingFlags parameter of type.GetMembers(). It filters out a lot of the members and properties etc... if you just leave it with the default value.

Yea, I played around with that. No luck.

If you want the base class members do this

type.BaseType.GetMembers()

Thanks for your help. My problem was that I was actually not looking for a base type but rather a sub type.

Thanks for your help though.

reflector will give you types derived from your interfaces (assuming they're in the dll you're speaking of).
