You can always use reflection to look at an assembly like the following:
Public Class MySpecialClass If you were just looking for the publicly exposed properties
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Xml
Module Module1
Dim methodElement As XmlElement
Dim paramElement As XmlElement
Dim templateDoc As New XmlDocument
Sub Main()
templateDoc.LoadXml("<program/>")
Dim my_Type As System.Type = GetType(MySpecialClass)
Dim methods As MethodInfo() = my_Type.GetMethods()
For Each method As MethodInfo In methods
AppendMethod(method.Name, _
IIf(method.IsPrivate, "private", _
IIf(method.IsPublic, "public", "")), method.GetParameters())
Next
Console.Out.WriteLine(templateDoc.InnerXml)
Console.In.ReadLine()
End Sub
Sub AppendMethod(ByVal name As String, _
ByVal modifier As String, _
Optional ByVal params As _
ParameterInfo() = Nothing)
methodElement = templateDoc.CreateElement("method")
methodElement.Attributes.Append( _
templateDoc.CreateAttribute("modifier")).Value = modifier
methodElement.Attributes.Append( _
templateDoc.CreateAttribute("name")).Value = name
If Not IsNothing(params) Then
For Each param As ParameterInfo In params
paramElement = templateDoc.CreateElement("param")
paramElement.Attributes.Append( _
templateDoc.CreateAttribute("name")).Value = param.Name
methodElement.AppendChild(paramElement)
Next
End If
templateDoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(methodElement)
End Sub
End Module
Private my_Property As String
Public Property MyProperty() As String
Get
Return my_Property
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
my_Property = value
End Set
End Property
Private Function MyPrivateFunction(ByVal myParam As String) As String
Return String.Empty
End Function
Public Function MyPublicFunction(ByRef myParam As String) As String
Return String.Empty
End Function
End Class
This example simply looks at the methods in an assembly and writes them to XmlElements. I'm sure theres a better way to produce the output, but you get the idea.
