I find myself really missing Ctrl-Click ability in the editor. Any chance we can get that added?

Seems great. However, it doesn’t pick up references to other assemblies which are already loaded (except for the framework) when loading a new assembly. I also can’t find an option to manually resolve an unresolved reference.

Thank you! After RedGate made reflector commercial (which was not what they promised!), hopefully, people still have a free of charge option.

I finally downloaded dotPeek, and I like what I see. The first class I jumped to was pretty slow, but after that it’s been fairly nice.

However, it only seems to show assemblies from the .NET Framework v4.0 — and it doesn’t even seem to support other framework versions. If I do File > Open from GAC and search for “mscorlib”, I just get two copies of the 4.0.0.0 version. It doesn’t show v2.0, nor does it show Silverlight.

Will dotPeek support other framework versions by the time it ships?

@Scott
Thanks, our pleasure!
We’re not intending to come up with a forced upgrade but we’ll definitely implement some kind of upgrade notifications.

I would just like to say THANK YOU for providing this tool after RedGate decided to charge for it!
I’m also hopeful that it won’t REQUIRE a #@%& update. (it was a bad decision when Lutz was releasing, it was bad when RedGate continued it)

Also… another THANK YOU for allowing assemblies to be loaded from the GAC without having to copy the files out first!

@Harry
dotPeek doesn’t integrate with anything - it’s a standalone tool.
If your intention is, say, to navigate from source code in Visual Studio to decompiled code, then no, you can’t do this with ReSharper 5.x.
However, ReSharper 6 will have decompiling functionality out of the box.
Again, it’s not like ReSharper 6 will integrate with dotPeek - these two products just share the same decompiling core.
