A new version of Reflector is out. It is a class browser for .NET components and assemblies. It has a very nice C#/VB decompiler, which seems to be better then Anakrino, imo. Reflector is a must have for .NET devs.

***Update: It seems that Reflector does not show private code in the decompiler window whereas Anakrino does. Still, both are nice and both are a must have.

***Yet another update: Steve pointed out to me that Reflector will show private code. Go to View|Options to enable visibility on private and internal code. And thanks for the pointer Steve.

Lesson learned: I need to play with all features before posting on my blog. On the other hand, the fact that someone pointed out a feature I overlooked after reading my blog is pretty dang cool, and shows the power of weblogging.

It "seems" like you didn't find the View-Options menu in Reflector? Reflector works as well as Anakrino on anything.

Awesome! Thanks for the hint. I have not explored all the options of Reflector yet.
