Solution 3

1) Read the file.
2) Use regular expression to determine the method signature. If it matches, get the method name.

can you help me out some more with the regex expression or else provide some reference links..

Creating the regex is the most important and complex part of your requirement. I won't write it for you but surely would try to help you writing it.
First of all get a copy of Expresso from http://www.codeproject.com/kb/dotnet/expresso.aspx
The next thing would be to determine different combinations of a method signature. So you need to get all instances of public/protected/private, return type, virtual/override etc, MethodName, (, optional parameters, ).

I would say start trying. If you have issues get back. Me and others will try to help. :thumbsup:

[Edit]I guess custom parsers should be available. Let me check. [/Edit]

Hey I got a couple of posts talking about the same thing. Go through it. It talks about regex method and custom parsers and some VS add-ins. It should help you. Here are the links:

Solution 1

If you have access to the class you can do it by reflection,

typeOf(MyClass).GetMethods()

This code is not tested and not exactly same. You can find a similar method with intellisense.
