Hello,

How to enumerate the CLR object methods?

I whould like to write some thing like this:

* * *

require ‘System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,  
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’  
include System::Windows::Forms  
p Form.new.methods.sort

* * *

and to see methods like: show, show\_dialog, …

instance.class.to\_clr\_type.get\_methods.collect { |m| m.name.to\_s  
}.uniq.sort.each { |m| p m }

or Form.to\_clr\_type.get\_methods.collect { |m| m.name.to\_s  
}.uniq.sort.each {  
|m| p m }

Module#methods doesn’t return .NET members right now. It should. Filed a
