Depending on your definition of "acts like", Type Reflector might work:

	http://mono.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/type-reflector/

It provides a console, System.Windows.Forms, or Gtk# tree of all
namespaces, types, and members within one or more assemblies.  It uses
System.Reflection, and will even provide the value of static properties.

According to the ChangeLog, it was last modified February 2003, so it
doesn't look like it's being worked on.  Furthermore, it uses Gtk#, so
it wouldn't be suitable for integration into SharpDevelop, which uses
System.Windows.Forms.
