I have a .dll I would like to decompile to make some improvements to the code. What are some tools out there that will allow me to do this? It's written in VB, I believe.
The key to your problem is to ensure the consistency of the three files: source file, dll and pdb. You can use a tool like dotpeek to decompile the C# dll file into a project (you can use this tool to export dll to be a totally new project/solution), and then you can build this new project.
0 To decompile a .Net DLL, you can use .Net Reflector. It will work for DLLs written in any .Net language. To decompile a Java JAR file, try Java Decompiler. Decompiling native code (C++) is much more difficult.
9 I think a C++ DLL is a machine code file. Therefore decompiling will only result in assembler code. If you can read that and create C++ from that you're good to go.
Well, what is the package to install in Visual Studio to get IlDasm for .NET 6+ applications? I can decompile .NET Frameworks, but no way for the next generation.
I just need to search for bits of text in my C# code. I already have .NET Reflector and the File Disassembler Add-In, but these just seem to decompile one DLL.
I know it's impossible to reverse a dll into a c++ code so I would like to collect as much as possible details from it. It's not my dll, so I don't have the source code of course. Which program sho...
I am really interested in assembly language and I want to learn about how exe files work how dlls run etc... and I have an idea of writing an application to decompile an exe to assembly code since ...
Is there free software like DotPeek that also lets me edit the DLL instead of just looking at it? UPDATE: I was able to save all the .cs files in the .dll file separately and edit them in VS (Visual Studio).
