Reflector.Graph Addin for Reflector 4.1.2.0

Reflector version: 4.1.2.0
Reflector.Graph version: 4.1.2.0
Download: www.dotnetwiki.org

Before getting the new version, make sure you have a look at the release notes below!

Important Changes:

  • The graphs are now visualized in SVG by embedding Internet Explorer inside Reflector. Make sure you have a SVG viewer that works with IE installed on your machine. I strongly recommend Adobe SVG Viewer.
  • The version number of the assemblies is now following Reflector version. Hence, current version number is 4.1.2.0.

Release Notes:

  • The Assembly Graph and IL graph now have clickable nodes. In general, clicking on a vertex will move the selection to that element in the Reflector tree.
  • The Assembly Graph now shows all the referenced even if they are not loaded. Click on a unloaded assembly will load it in Reflector,

Adobe SVG viewer tips:

If you are using Adobe SVG viewer, here are a few tips:

  • Alt + left down + move move = panning the view,
  • Ctrl + left click = zoom in,
  • Ctrl + Shift + left click = zoom out,
  • Ctrl + left click + mouse move = zoom region,
  • Right click pops up the SVG viewer context menu.

Here's the new look of the Assembly graph.

Does ".NET 1.0" mean that this doesn't support the .Net Framework 1.1? If so, will there be a 1.1 version available soon?

No, this means that it will run on all frameworks.

Unless there's an assembly version change (like 4.0 -&gt; 4.1), it should continue to work.

But the fact is disappointed.
<br>Only <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a>.Goodies, <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a>.Graph and <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a>.Rules can continue to work corrently.
<br><a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a>.Graph.Drawing occur error sometimes. When bug touch off, a red furcation show in right frame of <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a> main window.

<br>Type graph is buggy, not matter which version of <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a>.

You only need to update add-ins when the <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a> assembly version changes. As far as I know this happened only in 4.0.0.0, 4.0.6.0 and 4.1.0.0 -- for all other versions the add-ins continue to work.

Michael,
<br>
<br><a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a> add-ins need to be compiled against .NET Framework 1.0 because the CLR versioning model does not really work for add-ins. The only way to keep add-ins working on all versions of the .NET Framework is by compiling against 1.0. <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a> does not use the CLR for loading assemblies so it will load your assembly no mattern which version you are running with.

Jonathan,
<br>
<br>Is there an option to print one of these (really cool) graphs using the SVG viewer?
<br>
Jon
Monday, June 06, 2005 3:36:56 AM (Pacific Daylight Time, UTC-07:00)
Yes, but it's not integrated in the addin yet: the SVG files are created in the addin folder and they are named after the addin that created it: AssemblyGraphControl.svg of the assembly graph.
<br>
<br>You can open those files in Internet explorer and simply print the page.

Great tools!
<br>
<br>Unfortunately the Adobe SVG viewer is not installable in our environment. It (incorrectly) insists that the user have admin privs. I AM the admin of my machine but unfortunately it still claims I am not (no other install has this problem).
<br>
<br>Are there ANY alternatives to Adobe's SVG plug in (or can anyone post a workaround to this issue?).
<br>
<br>SVG just crippled your excellent work IMO.

An update: in order to install the Adobe SVG plug in you must be logged into your local machine account, not a domain account (as I was in my earlier message).
<br>
<br>Carry on,
<br>John

Great work!
<br>
<br>Would love the option to only graph the blue boxes...

Just thought I'd follow up on my own comment above in case others come down this road.
<br>
<br>The Adobe SVG plugin IS installable if you login to the local machine as a local administrator account. Here at work we logon to a domain account (still admin for the machine) which didn't work.

When I try to add all the dll to <a title="Reflector" href="http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/" target="_blank">Reflector</a>'s Ad-ins (version 4.1.40.0) all of them fail. What am i doing wrong?
<br>thx.
