Tool to search for namespace in directory of .dll files

[SevenThugsSoftware]

Does anyone know if there is a tool which can search a directory of
..dll files, for a particular namespace or object or method?

You have to write code that does the search using reflection. Here's an
example:

Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.IO

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim searchDir As String =
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.1.4322"
Dim searchFor As String = "Open"

Dim assemblyName As String
For Each assemblyName In Directory.GetFiles(searchDir, "*.dll")
Try
Dim currentAssembly As [Assembly] =
[Assembly].LoadFile(assemblyName)
For Each currentType As Type In currentAssembly.GetTypes()
If currentType.Name = searchFor Then
Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFileName(assemblyName) &
":" & _
currentType.FullName)
End If
For Each method As MemberInfo In currentType.GetMembers
If method.Name = searchFor Then
Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFileName(assemblyName)
& ":" & _
currentType.FullName & ":" & method.Name)
End If
Next
Next
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Next

End Sub

End Module
