I probably use it once a week serious, casually once a day. I use it when I want to understand the relationship between classes in the framework from a call path perspective more than anything. It's also great for understanding the relationship between various assemblies which isn't readily available in the framework documentation.

Who's with me? I don't understand; what do you people actually use Reflector for all the time? I've had to use it twice: 1) No documentation and hidden functionality regarding the format of MSMQ correlation Id, so I had to look at the source and find what it was 2) For some short period I felt like re-implementing some common control that was sealed, so I looked at the functionality, but then realised there was a better way to do what I wanted I don't legitimately understand how decompiling is so required. What are people doing? (Aside from David Kean and the CLR team; though I admit to being somewhat surprised by that, I would've thought there would be a different internal strategy there ...) > -- > > w: http://jcooney.net > t: @josephcooney -- Noon Silk http://dnoondt.wordpress.com/ (Noon Silk) | http://www.mirios.com.au:8081 > Fancy a quantum lunch? http://www.mirios.com.au:8081/index.php?title=Quantum_Lunch "Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy - the joy of being this signature."
