List .NET objects inside an object

Question

I don't know how can I access objects inside an object. Everything I read is about the Get-Member option, but that is in order to listing the methods/property, not the classes inside a class, it seems like it is taken for granted or you should know it or something.

I want to get the classes inside System.Net, or whatever class I want to be listed:

• WebRequest
• Sockets
• WebClient
• …

I already know that I can be shown the methods inside with

[System.Net.WebRequest] | gm -Static

or without -Static for the general methods.

Answer 1

Give this a try

[System.AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() | 
    % { $_.GetTypes() } |
    ? { $_.IsPublic -and $_.Namespace -ne $null -and $_.Namespace.StartsWith("System.Net")    

Of course you can alter the filtering according to your needs and add sorting if necessary
