Monitoring / detecting assembly calls

Greetings,

I was just assigned to a project where I have to use existing .NET 1.1 and
2.0 assemblies, but there is no documentation for them. I have an idea of
what each exposed method does, but I do not have a clue as to how the
parameters are formatted.

For example, one parameter is: string[] theStrings. This obviously need more
info. So my question...is there a way--or any tool I can use--to monitor a
running assembly to see the contents of the parameters when one of its public
methods is called?

If not, is there an easy way to dissasemble the assembly to see the source
code?

Thanks,

Eric
 
That's absolutely perfect. Thank you!!

I also found a decompiler plug-in for Lutz Roeder's "Reflector for .NET":

I'm now looking at sweet, sweet source code. :-)

Thanks again,

Eric
