What is the Windows Class Viewer?

When the .NET SDK with Visual Studio .NET is installed, numerous stand-alone programming tools are included. One of them is the Windows Class Viewer (wincv.exe). Because it is hidden under the Visual Studio .NET \Bin subdirectory by default, many developers remain unaware of wincv.exe.

The Windows Class Viewer tool enables the programmer to enter a type name from the Base Class Libraries (BCL) then view the C# definition of that type including all member definitions.
