Discovering .NET Reflector

I just discovered Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector. This tool is awesome! Here is a description of the the tool directly from it's website :

Reflector is a class browser for .NET components. It supports assembly and namespace views, type and member search, XML documentation, call and callee graphs, IL, Visual Basic, Delphi and C# decompiler, dependency trees, base type and derived type hierarchies and resource viewers.
The disassembler included with the tool can decompile any of our .dll files we have created with Visual Studio and allow you to view the source code. It will also convert that source code into VB, IL, Delphi, or C#.

Another way to use the tool is to look-over the assemblies included in the .Net Framework. You can then see how MS created their classes and how you can extend those classes to better serve your needs.
