Finding Methods with Specific Keywords

As such, .NET Framework is huge and full of stars, and it is not easy to discover interesting methods buried inside of it. You can use the next lines to find all methods with a given keyword:

$key = 'Kill'
[System.Diagnostics.Process].Assembly.GetExportedTypes() | Where-Object { $_.isPublic}
| Where-Object { $_.isClass } | Where-Object { @($_.GetMethods() | Where-Object {
$_.Name -like "*$key*" }).Count -gt 0 } | Select-Object -expandProperty FullName

The above tip will get you the type names hosting the methods. To actually get a list of method names with your keyword, try this:

[System.Diagnostics.Process].Assembly.GetExportedTypes() | Where-Object { $_.isPublic}| Where-Object { $_.isClass } | Foreach-Object { $_.GetMethods() |  Where-Object {  $_.Name -like "*$key*"} } | Select-Object DeclaringType, Name
