    System.Reflection questions

    Hi,
    I have two questions about Reflection. One I think I know the answer
    to but will ask anyway.

    1) I can delve into a component or executable and get all the way to
    the method within a class. But I can't see the code inside the method.
    Is there a way to get access to that?

    2) This may be a dumb question but I'll ask. Is there anyway to use
    Reflection with a VB6 dll or exe?

          In v2.0 of the framework you can, using the new
          MethodBase.GetM ethodBody method.

          If you want to reflect on a VB6 binary, then no you can't do that.
          Reflection requires metadata only available in managed executables.

          If you want to use Reflection from VB6, I guess that would be possible
          through COM interop.
