Wanted: .Net Object Browser

I’m working on an ASP.Net project and I’m desparately trying to avoid buying Visual Studio — it’s about $600 at the cheapest, and I have nothing else I would use it for. The problem is that there’s no formal documentation of the API I’m working with, so I really need to browse these DLLs somehow.

I’ve tried the Express versions, but they’re for the 2.0 framework, not 1.1. Could they work?

Does anyone have a recommendation? I’ll buy Visual Studio if I have to, but I’d like to avoid it.

I've not personally used this ide, but I've heard a lot of good things about it...

What you want for object browsing is Lutz Roeder's Reflector for .NET.

You might try an eval of a Borland tool - very .Net compatible these days.

Wow, that one Mike mentioned is exactly what I needed -- exactly. Good stuff there.

Thanks.

Reflector is the industry standard object browser for .net, as far as I know.
