Hi,

If you are looking for a coding solution then check out reflection:

..NET Framework Developer's Guide
Reflection Overview
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f7ykdhsy.aspx

To find a member you first need to know the type in which its defined, which
could be a class, but not necessarily. The Assembly class and Type class
has properties and methods that can help you. The GetType() method on the
Object class, from which all types derive, can be used to obtain a Type
object that you can use to reflect into the meta-data at runtime. You can
also use the typeof() statement in C#, which doesn't require an instance of
Object.

Otherwise, if you're just looking to browse the meta-data of an assembly,
check out the .NET Reflector program, which will probably be all you'll
need:
