- Automatically finding and displaying usages of metadata table items.
- Decoding and displaying values of blob items.
- On double-click, decompiling and displaying code that corresponds to the metadata item.
- Exploring PE file headers.
- Exploring contents of Debug and Resource directories.
- Exploring contents of the associated standalone or embedded Portable PDB.
