| Class Browser |
The ASP.NET Web Matrix Class Browser
allows you to examine and discover classes and their members (properties,
methods, events, variables, constants, enum items, and so forth). The
multiple window environment makes it easy to group, search and sort classes.
The tool also provides links to online and local help resources for each
class member.
- Select the Microsoft ASP.NET Web Matrix program group from the
Start Menu.
- Select ClassBrowser.
- You will see the ASP.NET Web Matrix Class Browser appear. The
ASP.NET Web Matrix Class Browser contains three functional areas:
• Toolbar (1): contains shortcuts to searching, sorting and
grouping functionality.
• Classes Treeview (2): displays classes as parent nodes and their
members as child nodes.
• Member Information Window (3): displays detailed information for
a selected item in the Classes Treeview, including links to online
and local help resources.
- Expand the System.Data node in the Classes Treeview.
- Double-click on the DataSet node.
- You will see the Member Information Window appear. The
Member Information Window contains three functional areas:
• Member Treeview (4): displays the member as the parent node and
its Fields, Constructors, Properties and Events as child nodes.
• Member Information Tab (5): displays member Namespace, Assembly,
Hierarchy and Attribute details. Also displays links to online and local
help resources for the member.
• Member IL Tab (6): displays Intermediate Language (IL)
details for the member. IL is metadata that describes the member to
the compiler. When code is executed, the runtime loads metadata into
memory and references it to discover information about your code's
classes, members, inheritance, and so on.
