Decompilation

[Martijn Mulder]

What tools and what strategy can one use to decompile a compiled C#-project?

Hello, Martijn!

Use a search engine to query for Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector.

Hello, Martijn!

Use a search engine to query for Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector.

Hello Vadym,

Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector is cool indeed! When I examine the data
members of a class, I do not see the contents. Example:

class MyClass
{
string MyString="Mjortvyje doesji";
}

I can see there is a class MyClass that contains a string MyString, but
I cannot see what is in the string.

Hello, Martijn!

MyString intialization will be put by Reflector into ctor aka class
constructor.

Hello, Martijn!

MyString intialization will be put by Reflector into ctor aka class
constructor.

Actually the C# compiler will put the initialization in the instance
constructor, and Reflector can't know where you want to see it, so it leaves
it there.
