(1) How do I display information about a class in NET?
A display of the whole class as if I had created it, with all the properties and methods.

(2) The specific class: About (a windows form template).

What I've tried (I have VB 2008 Express, NET 3.5):

In Visual Studio; F2 Object Browser, Selected NET 3.5, entered About in search.
Shows four items that don't appear to be the About class.

Went to
.NET Framework 3.5

Can not find About class.
Looked in each namespace in System.Windows.Forms
Search for "About" shows nothing helpful.

Is there a way to specify a class in either Object Browser or the MSDN site?

Any comments are welcome.
 
Yes, I know the new add-in option is not available in VB Express, but that is not really relevant, you can still run Reflector from the start menu shortcut (or the .exe, however), the outcome is the same. .Net Reflector has been around for years, there has never been a addin integration with VS until later days.
 
JohnH, thanks for your persistence.

After initially starting Reflection and seeing that it was not an add-in, I had thought the only thing it did was display NET objects.

But upon reviewing a prior post,
if you load the assembly
the light finally came on - Reflection has a File menu - it can open and read my application!

So now I see the things you've been talking about.

Thanks again!
