Assembly Explorer window
Ctrl+Alt+L
Assembly Explorer allows opening multiple assemblies and keeping a list of open assemblies and folders. You can traverse and explore all open assemblies. Expanding an assembly node lists namespaces within the assembly, which can be further expanded to types and type members, as well as assembly references. You can double-click any type to decompile it or fetch source from a symbol server (depending on your settings ).
In addition, the Assembly Explorer contains nodes representing base types and inheritors of the current type.
To filter items in the Assembly Explorer, use the search box on top. Note that you can use CamelHumps and metadata tokens here.
 Open | Opens an assembly from project file, library file, or a ZIP archive. For more information, see Open and Close Assemblies. |
 Explore Folder | Allows choosing a folder to be explored recursively and loading all assemblies found in this folder. For more information, see Find Assemblies in Folders. Since dotPeek processes the selected folder recursively, make sure not to add a folder that may contain too many assemblies (for example Program Files ). It might take long to load all assemblies in dotPeek. |
 Open from GAC | Allows opening one or more assemblies from Global Assembly Cache (GAC). For more information, see Open Assemblies from Global Assembly Cache. |
 Open from NuGet Packages Cache | Helps you find and open desired NuGet packages from the local NuGet package cache. |
 Open from NuGet | Helps you find and open desired NuGet packages from the specified NuGet package sources (nuget.org or custom). |
 Open from Running Process | Opens the Process Explorer window to explore assemblies of the currently running processes. |
 Open Assembly List | Opens a list of assemblies saved with the Save Assembly List command. For more information, see Opening assembly list |
 Save Assembly List | Saves the list of assemblies currently opened in Assembly Explorer. For more information, see Saving current assembly list An assembly list is saved as links to local resources and therefore might not be opened correctly on other computers. |
 Clear Assembly Explorer | Removes all assemblies from the Assembly Explorer. |
 Export to Project | Exports the selected assembly to a Visual Studio project. For more information, see Export Assembly to Project. |
 Generate PDB | Generates symbol files (PDB and source files) for the selected assembly. For more information, see Generate PDB Files. |
