The Amadeus .NET Assembly Browser (Part I)
The Amadeus .NET Assembly Browser, is a shell extension for Windows® XP that adds a property page to the Properties window of executable files (.dll and .exe), that represent .NET assemblies. This property page contains an advanced object browser, similar to the one in Visual Studio® yet with many more features, that allows you to investigate the contents of the assembly. This application does not require Microsoft® Visual Studio® to be installed in your system. It does however, require the .NET Framework (v.2.0), just like any .NET application.

In a number of articles that will follow, I will describe some of the details of the technology used in this tool. In the meantime, you can download and try the pre-release version of this tool here. This application is free to use. Please post any comments to the workspace site or here.
