find forms in dll

[MAF]

Is there any way to look into a compiled dll and find the forms associated
and then locate properties of the form?

 

[Erick Sgarbi]

System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = //Load Assembly..;
foreach(System.Type type in assembly.GetTypes())
{
if(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Form).IsAssignableFrom(type))
// or
// if(type.IsSubclassOf(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Form))
{
//Is a Form
//Use reflection to get the properties you need.
}
}

Ok that worked thanks, but I am notable to access the localizeable
property. Do I need to read in the resx file in order to access this
file?

Yes you do need to use the resource manager to read the assembly's
embedded resource.

Correction... you don't need to read the "file" itself but rather use
the resource manager to read your embedded resource from the assembly.
Look at the link I sent you previously.

If you are not looking to do this programatically you could try:
