    Is this a .NET assembly, a COM component or neither?

    I think a .Net assembly, but does it matter?

    Probably wouldn't have asked the question if it didn't matter.

    Are you looking to interrogate this assembly in code at run time, or do you want to just look inside it during development? If it's the former then you would use reflection in code. If it's the latter then you can use the .NET Reflector tool, which will use reflection, along with other tricks, to rebuild the VB or C# source code from a compiled assembly.

    I am just looking for a certain function which I know exists in one of the dlls. Once I find it i want to use it in my code.

    So my aim isn't a code which does this if can done be done by a program already built.
