How to find reference file used?

I know how to reference an external library. However now i am trying to work on a code example, and want to know this in reverse. So some libraries are used, and I dont know which dll's are used. Thus which dll's should I reference to use them in my code ?

Like this;

// main program
using myhidden.api.net

How to detect which dll file was called here?

What can do depends on what your situation is.

If you have just a code file and no information about the other DLLs used AT ALL, your options are very limited. About all you can do is search Google for the strings in the namespace and poke around at whatever site you found the code to see if there's any information about what DLLs are used.

If you know that the namespace comes from one of several DLLs and you have the DLLs, do as Mr. Gonul suggests in his answer.

You can see on Object Browser;

  • Add a reference to the DLL file.
  • Right click it in the list.
  • Click View in Object Browser.
