.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / July 2007.NET class hierarchy
Hi, is there any app which can show the class hierarchy of all classes/ interfaces in .NET? I need this to find all classes that implement the IListSource interface? > Hi, > is there any app which can show the class hierarchy of all classes/ > interfaces in .NET? > I need this to find all classes that implement the IListSource > interface? The documentation for 1.1 says that it's implemented by DataSet and DataTable. BUT - A major point (I originally wrote "the whole point", but decided to revise) of Interfaces is to abstract away from which class(es) implement said interface. If some (unknown) program passes you an IListSource, how do you know that that program doesn't contain a class that implements IListSource itself?

OTOH, I may have missed something - Reflector always continues to surpirse me with just how good it is.

I can't find a Derived By anywhere. I can find Used By, but that tells me which functions accept an argument of type IListSource. Exposed By (which I was kindof hoping would give the information) is empty in both cases, even if I have System.Data loaded as well. I'm guessing Exposed By only works within the same Assembly?

I'd tried that before, but because I hadn't had System.Data.dll loaded at the same time, it was empty. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Damien
