How can I locate .NET Library property/function that return a particular type?

Occasionally I will know that there is a .NET Framework function that returns a particular type of object, but I can't recall the property or function name. It would be really nice to be able to somehow scan the Framework or other DLL for functions that return a particular type of object. (For example, it would have helped when I asked this question, and I have a similar question again.)

Can anyone开发者_StackOverflow suggest how I might do this?

Reflector will help with this. Search for and select your type (F3) and use Analyze (Ctrl+R) on it. Then expand the Used By node.

You'll still need to narrow things down from this list, but it gives a good start.

Edit: Actually, you get Exposed By and Instantiated By nodes as well, so among those options I think you are covered.
