DLL GacUtil and Reflector Shortcuts


Here’s a little trick to help all of us SharePoint developers working with DLLs. 

It adds the gacutil.exe -i and Reflector.exe command to the right-click context menu.

Get Reflector.exe at: http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/


Now, all you have to do is right click on a dll and presto!  (make sure reflector.exe path maps correctly)


DLLShortcuts.reg (create in notepad and double click)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell]
@="c:\\reflector\\reflector.exe "%1""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\InstallGAC]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\InstallGAC\command]
@="\"c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\SDK\\v2.0\\Bin\\gacutil.exe\" /i "%1""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Reflector]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\Shell\Reflector\command]
@="c:\\reflector\\reflector.exe "%1""

(Note:  Thanks to Maxim for the tip on accommodating spaces)
