Is there a tool like Reflector for COM libraries?

Question

Is there a tool like Reflector for COM libraries? I would like to open a COM library and browse the classes and interfaces just like in Reflector. I would rather not install Visual Basic 6.0 in order to do this, if possible.

Answer 1

Not in the same way however there are number of tools that allow you to examine the type library. For example OleView.

You can also get a good idea of the types inside COM library by simply adding it to a .NET project. You can then use object browser to browser the resulting interop assembly or even use Reflector on the assembly.

Even though normal reason for this tool is doing security assessment for COM objects you can still try ComRaider - http://labs.idefense.com/software/fuzzing.php#more_comraider

It's similar to Oleview.
