Reflector Analyzer

How does the .Net Reflector's Analyze feature work?

I'm trying to figure what types in a set of assemblies use a particular type from a .Net Framework assembly. How do I tell Reflector what assemblies to analyze? will it use the ones I explicitly load (+ dependent ones)?

I would like to better understand how the 'used by' and 'depends on' features work so that I know with certainty whether my type usage/dependency analysis is reliable.

BTW: this feature is just awesome!

Hi there,

Thanks for your post! Glad to hear you like the analyzer feature.

Reflector will analyze whichever assemblies are currently in the object browser. (For the desktop version, you can add/remove assemblies to the object browser as you please, but for the extension, it will only show assemblies that are directly referenced by the current solution)

Hope that helps!
