You can integrate .NET Reflector with the Windows Explorer shell so that you can open assemblies in .NET Reflector directly from Explorer.
To do this open up .NET Reflector, then click Tools > Integration Options on the main menu. Now just check the Windows Explorer option at the bottom and hit OK.
Once you've done this you should find that in Explorer, if you double-click on a DLL, it will open directly in .NET Reflector. You should also find that there is a Browse with .NET Reflector item on the right-click context menu for DLLs and EXEs.
About Bart Read
Bart has done many things since he started work at Red Gate Software Ltd in August 2004, but nowadays he's (mainly) the product manager for the .NET Developer Tools. He still feels like this is a bit like admitting you were cheering for the Empire whilst watching Star Wars, but for now he's along for the ride. In a previous incarnation he was a project manager leading the .NET Reflector Pro, ANTS Memory Profiler 5, ANTS Performance Profiler 4 & 5, and SQL Prompt 3.0 - 3.6 projects. He still occasionally writes some code and, in the past, has touched the code for most of the Red Gate SQL developer tools... some of them still haven't recovered from the shock. He was born and grew up in Dorset, was educated in Nottingham and London, and likes music and real ale. His photo is extremely misleading.
