Object Browser

[=?Utf-8?B?QUEyZTcyRQ==?=]

I need some tips on enumerating the names and syntax of properties, methods,
events, and public variables, enums, user-defined types in a COM,
programatically in C# ... a little like Object Browser in VS2006 but without
the IDE.

Thanks for your help.

Why would you ever need to do this using C#, there is the "oleview.exe"
tool that does exactly this.
..NET (and C#) is not the right tools to help you to build such kind of COM
related tools, this is why we still have native code like C++ in our
toolbox.

Hi
There is already a software for doing this but is a COM software.
Its called dependency walker.
You can download it from http://www.dependencywalker.com.

Dependency walker has nothing to do with COM, and is not what the OP is
looking for.

Thanks for the hints but the suggestions ignore my request "... but
without the IDE. "

I can retrieve the information I am after as text, which I dump into Word &
create an index for about 25 or so VB6.0 DLLs. The text is like this:

(for a property)

Property|FileName
Ref|Value@string = obj.Filename
Set obj.FileName = Value@String

(for a method)

Method|Validate
Value@Boolean = Validate(FileName as String)

etc

My code does not pick up the public (global) variables or public enums:
hence the original post.
