Go To Metadata Token

Last modified: 08 March 2021

Navigate | Go to Metadata Token

This command finds and displays a decompiled symbol by its metadata token provided that the corresponding assembly is loaded.

This can be helpful if you know the token of a specific symbol (for example, from another decompiler), then you can quickly find this symbol in dotPeek.

You can also search by tokens using Search Everywhere and use tokens to filter entries in the Assembly Explorer window

tip

If necessary, you can click Show token values on the toolbar to display token values in the Assembly Explorer window tree and in comments in the decompiled code. For more information, see View metadata tokens
