Hi,

Is there any place that i can learn the basics of IL and using ILDASM. I
saw the internet but there is not much to see and read. Maybe i didn't search
deep enough.

I prefer if someone can recommend me some URL than book recommendations if
possible. Thanks :)

Yeah, i want to know how IL works behind the scene.

Can anyone tell me their experiences working with IL? Is it really true
that i can improve my system flow, by reading IL, then i can optimize it???

Thanks.
 
Its good to have an understanding of IL to be able to investigate how things work in .NET (see what the compiler actually does with your C# constructs) and can help in spotting potential problems like the box operation in a tight loop that can be avoided. But in terms of trying to optimize you have to remember that its the JIT compiler that performs the heavy optimization not the compiler.

But I would always recommend that people get at least an understanding of IL when they do .NET development as it helps gaining an understanding of the platform and thats always a good thing. I think someone else has already posted a good link for understanding the basics.

Serge Lidin's book is probably the most complete source (other than the ECMA spec)
