Being able to load reflector into any process would probably allow even novices to easily circumvent many protection schemes, and would put Reflector into the same class of hacking tools that are primiarly for the purpose of defeating protection schemes, which means that there could be legal issues under DCMA. / comments

Can Reflector Pro circumvent my protection scheme?
I'm distributing libraries for use by developers, which are available with and without source code. To protect the version without source code, I use a native C++ component that decrypts encrypted ...
Call For Open Source Reflector
Because of a number of factors relating to Red Gate's acquisition of Reflector, most notably keeping the 'leash' on it, and bugs that mysterously appear in updates, I am calling for a community eff...
Sorry, but this problem did not exist prior to the 'compulsory' update to the latest release, and no other variables on the system have changed.
If you didn't touch the code, why did the problem appear with the latest upgrade? Also, this is a good example of why compulsory upgrades to each new release will only foster bad will. I can't revert to the previous working release, and have no choice but to deal with the defect. :?

Thank you for your post.
As you noted the original upgrade mechanism is still in place and hasn't changed from its original incarnation.
There's one simple reason it's still in place - we haven't changed the Release code except to extend the expiration date so you can keep using Reflector freely while work continues internally on the tool to improve it for our users.
It also follows that we have not gone even near the search behaviour or resulting code.
I'm not saying you are not experiencing problems - simply that the code hasn't been touched so there will be another explanation for your current issues that we will try and test for.
Kind regards,
Stephen

Thanks for all the Fish
The latest version of Reflector (I'm not going to even get into the matter of Red Gate's choosing to keep the compulsory upgrade 'leash' Lutz had on Reflector), is dysfunctional in its search funct...
It's pretty clear from what's happening, that Redgate had Reflector set to 'expire' at the end of the month, update or not.
I'm truly annoyed that I have to be subjected to this. / comments

Sorry, this isn't UI school.
If you have to ask that question, that's where you need to go to understand what's wrong with it. / comments

Along the lines of HawkEye (http://www.acorns.com.au/Projects/Hawkeye), the ability to inject Reflector into a running .NET application or CLR host, and examine the loaded/running assemblies would be something I would consider 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 ? / comments

A feature that may be worth paying for.

Hi there,
Thanks for posting,
Our plan at the moment is to continue to provide a fully functional free (to be clear - that is the same functionality as is in the product today) version for the community.
I understand that many people will be sceptical about this regardless of what I say but I hope that people will keep an open mind and will judge us on our actions over the next few months and not their understandable fears over the future of what is a massively popular tool.

Most of us are skeptical because many of us do not see Reflector as a viable commercial venture, *if* you are going to do as you say (e.g., your plan 'at the moment' - continuing to offer the current version free of charge).
Therefore, my guess is that since Lutz sold out on us, and you paid him for Reflector, once you realize that there is little room for a commercial version of it alongside the free or 'community' version, we will eventually see you tell us something like: "well, that was the plan at that moment".
Aside from fixing the lousy UI Reflector has (something that most of us tolerate and do not care about all that much), I don't know what else you can do to make a commercial version of it, that can effectively compete with a free version that is so feature laden.
So, I think what most here need to pay attention to is your first sentence: 'Our plan the moment', and that the 'moment' will not last long. / comments
