I received an email today from a South Florida Code Camp attendee asking for more information about the code metric tools I mentioned during a presentation.

Reflector Add-Ins

First and foremost, there is a complete list of free Reflector Add-Ins on CodePlex. The first one is a code metric viewer I mentioned during the presentation.

CodeMetrics: Analyses .NET assemblies and shows design quality metrics.
Review: Allows editing and managing annotations during code reviews.
Diff: This add-in shows differences between two versions of the same assembly.
SilverlightLoader: Allows browsing the structure of a website and loading Silverlight assemblies.
FileDisassembler: This add-in can be used to dump the disassembler output to files for any Reflector supported language.
Reflexil: Allows to manipulate the IL of a loaded assembly and write the changes to disk.

DelphiLanguage: The Delphi view that is used inside .NET Reflector provided as a language add-in.
CppCliLanguage: This add-in extends Reflector with a C++/CLI language rendering module.
ReflectionEmitLanguage: This add-in renders C# code necessary to create the given IL body.
TestDriven.net: This Visual Studio add-in can navigate to any code element inside Reflector with a single click.
