How do I View the functions inside of DLLs?

Question

Is there a way you can open and view the code in a DLL (i.e., see functions/methods, signatures, and the code inside those functions or methods?)

Is there a way to view any headers inside the DLL as well as the authorship information for a DLL?

Answer 2

If they are .NET DLLs, you can find out a remarkable amount, including disassembling the code, using redgate's free tool "Reflector" - see http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/
