How to get all the members of the .Net standard provided types?

Question

Hello all,

I was trying to get the list of all the C# interfaces included in the .Net version I was using (through the object browser). And then I realized this wondering was hiding a rookie shortcoming: How can I get a list of all the members of any system/.Net types through the object browser? Is even the Object Browser suited for that?

It is not easy to find out if the Object Browser can help me because it is so full of stuff, I'm not sure to know where I could find a possible existing standard interfaces list in it.

The only thing I could find to approach the solution is the "peek definition" contextual menu and the "intellisense proposals":

I can indeed get the list of al the .Net interfaces this way. But it's not ideal cause I can only pick an item here with no information about membership, inheritance, etc. I'm also implicitly doing the assumption that all interfaces start with "I", but if I am looking for an Enumerations, Classes or others integrated types, this trick does not work.

Thank you for your help,

Hi @Sylvain SANCHEZ EGEA , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

You only need to use the shortcut keys CTRL+W+J correctly in the project, and then select the Interface, Enumerations, Classes, etc. you want to find.

Interfaces basically start with I.

For the related source code of .Net Framework, you can refer to this website. Reference Source
