A feature that may be worth paying for.

  have you tried windbg, sos.dll, !SaveModule? You could script/wrapper it to make it automated. You'd pay hundreds for that?

  What do any of those have in common with Reflector?
  
  Are we talking about debugging or browsing/disassembly ?

  You can "examine the loaded/running assemblies" for one. Windbg and Visual Studio offer the means to attach to managed processes, and there are various ways to save off the modules in the target process for loading into .Net Reflector. i.e. you're paying hundreds for something that can already by done with existing tools.

  It sounds like both. And, both are already being done with existing tools.

  I'd like to second being willing to pay for this feature in Reflector, even if other tools alreay support it. I'd like Reflector to be my one stop shop for unobfuscated assembly decompilation/metadata inspection.

  I would like to 3rd that!
  I've always scratched my head that VS cant debug into a method if you dont have the code/symbols, yet reflector can very easily read the method itself. It would probably be a lot of effort to implement but would definitely be worth something.
