CSharp Source Code

[shilpichaudhry]

Hi:
I am trying to inherit a class from the C# class, and override a
method, but before I can start coding, I need to know what goes on in
the C# method, before I can make any corresponding changes to my
method,
is there any place from where I can get the C# code for that class.

specifically I am looking for ErrorProvider class and method is
SetIconAlignment.

Thanks, shilpi

You have to rely on the documentation for that class. It's the only official
source. Unfortunately, the .NET docs are very weak IMO (due to lack of
sufficient info).

Hmm, techincally you should not need to know how the class is
implemented. That would break encapsulation. If the superclass'
implemenation changes, it would then break your subclass, which is not
good.

if you really need to peek that that code, you can use Reflector from
Loeder. This program allows you to inspect assemblies, and
disassemble code.

As other has stated, then the approach is bad.

When MS changes something then your code may break.

If you want to go ahead, then find a decompiler like
Reflector.FileDisassembler.

Sometimes koders.com has definitions for framework methods. I don't know
whether they're actual, or just someone's idea of what goes on, but it's a
useful resource. ErrorProvider.cs can be downloaded here:

I echo the warning of others though--don't depend too heavily on knowing how
it works internally.

I thought it was Mono source and not MS source they had !?
