ActiveXplorer

Client: In partnership with Aivosto Oy (Helsinki, Finland).

ActiveXplorer is a file manager and analyzer for COM libraries (ActiveX controls, TLBs, DLL and EXE servers) and .NET assemblies. Analyzes libraries and shows which classes, methods and properties they contain. Automatically generates full technical documentation for binary files.

Project Highlights

Manage your component files.

What's installed? ActiveXplorer shows the details of all COM libraries and .NET assemblies on your system. Know about the file versions, CLSIDs and installation paths.

Learn to use undocumented controls.

Analyze any COM component or .NET assembly to see what's inside it. View the available properties and methods with descriptions on how they should be called.

Keep your Registry in good shape.

Is your system Registry up-to-date? Use ActiveXplorer to find missing files and clean the Registry of extra entries. Right-click any COM file to register it correctly.

Document COM and .NET files.

Generate a technical document for any component in a minute. Use the type library and reflection information already stored in the files without the need for a manual rewrite. Generated file formats are HTML, CHM and RTF.
