"Object Explorer" type program

[bjrollet]

Hey all,

I want to develop a Object Explorer type program in VB.NET, and I have not been able to find a starting point. I would like to view all of the methods and properties for a given DLL in my app. Anybody know of any web sites or books that could help me start out? Thanks in advance. This working out thing isn't working out.

Well, it's relatively straightforward in VB6 so I'd guess it shouldn't be long before somebody pops up here with the VB.NET solution.

You might want to look into the TypeLib Information Object. It is available in VB6, but don't know about .Net. The Properties and Methods of the TypeLib Object can be run against the DLL, or other object to get and/or set the properties and obtain the methods and its parameters that are defined within the object.
Good Luck
