.NET Reflector Support: Can I view disassembled IL instead of decompiled source code?

Published Friday, July 31, 2009 6:16 PM

Absolutely. Just select IL in the language dropdown on the main toolbar:

Choosing IL from the language dropdown in the .NET Reflector toolbar.

Once you've done this, if you right-click on a member, or type, in the browser and click Disassemble on the context menu, .NET Reflector will show you the IL for the selected item, including the IL offset for each instruction, just like ildasm:

Disassembler pane displaying IL for the ArrayList.InsertRange() method.

At the moment there is no way to view the raw byte code for the member or type, but this is on the list of possible future enhancements.

About Bart Read

Bart has done many things since he started work at Red Gate Software Ltd in August 2004, but nowadays he's (mainly) the product manager for the .NET Developer Tools. He still feels like this is a bit like admitting you were cheering for the Empire whilst watching Star Wars, but for now he's along for the ride. In a previous incarnation he was a project manager leading the .NET Reflector Pro, ANTS Memory Profiler 5, ANTS Performance Profiler 4 & 5, and SQL Prompt 3.0 - 3.6 projects. He still occasionally writes some code and, in the past, has touched the code for most of the Red Gate SQL developer tools... some of them still haven't recovered from the shock. He was born and grew up in Dorset, was educated in Nottingham and London, and likes music and real ale. His photo is extremely misleading.
