Which tool can I use to see which DLLs a DLL contains?

Like this
C:\Test\App\InterfaceSolutionCppWrapper\Debug>listdlls -v mfcclient
Works not.
Which tool can I use to see which third DLL contains which other DLLs and which version? How do I call this to see the DLLs. Do you have an example?
System.Net.Http.Formatting
Newtonsoft.Json.dll
NuGet\Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json -Version 6.0.1
I'm currently using these two DLLs. These work in a certain combination, version. If I take the current one it doesn't work anymore.
//System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or
//one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

The latest release can be downloaded; the sources can be compiled in Visual Studio.

System.Net.Http.Formatting(5.2.3.0) references Newtonsoft.Json.dll (6.0.0.0).

2023-10-16T17:03:13.3333333+00:00 I know about Telerik JustDecompile and have tried it but favor dotPeek as Jetbrains is more devoted to this tech and think they do a better job.

2023-10-16T16:23:34.0033333+00:00 Looks good. Here I can see that this DLL contains the JSON in version 6.0.0.0
Is VS2022 planned, do you know that? -

This is a tool that allows you to debug using GUI from .exe file.
