Want to Modify DLL Binary without Compiling

[sippyuconn]

Hi

Have an old dll that I don't want to recompile - need to get alot of
ancillary libraries that it depends on yada yada - I thought that I remember
hearing about a way to zap the dll to switch bits ???

What I want to do is I have a statement like ( sorry if I have syntax wrong
- doing C# now)

if (sString == "01/01/2008")

want

if (sString == "01/01/2009")

Is there some way I can switch the bits in dll ??
I have source how would I find correct address etc ???

Maybe I am dreaming and you cannot do this ???

Thanks for any info

Hello sippyuconn

I believe that it is an unsupported scenario if the DLL is a unmanaged
module, but if it is a managed assembly, this tool
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/msil/reflexil.aspx and this discussion
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/123540/modifying-existing-net-assembles
may be helpful to you.
