mono.cecil

How do you use Mono.Cecil to create a simple program from scratch? All the examples and tutorials I've been able to find so far, assume you are working with an existing assembly, reading or making small changes. See the following code to get you started: var myHelloWorldApp = AssemblyDefinition.CreateAssembly( new AssemblyNameDefinition("HelloWorld", new Version(1, 0, 0, 0)), "HelloWorld", ModuleKind.Console); var module = myHelloWorldApp.MainModule; // create the program type and add it to the module var programType = new TypeDefinition("HelloWorld", "Program", Mono.Cecil.TypeAttributes.Class

Well this question may seem odd but it's simple - my point is if i have a "goto" (brtrue etc) in the decompiled code like example br IL_0003 call ***** IL_0003: ret and I add a command after that **** call will the br at the top point to ret like it should or to that code. does Cecil do it by itself or I have to take care of all those branches ? :/ it wouldn't be very hard to fix them but if Cecil doesn't then I simply won't start this project, I've no time (or knowledge) for advanced IL magic :P (yes I know it won't be IL_0003 it's just for example) Yes, Cecil will update the branch for you.

I'd like to list all the methods that are called from a specific method. E.g. if I have the following code: public void test1() { test2(); test3(); } The list should contain test2() and test3(). It would be great if methods of the same class but also methods of another class could be listed. Additionaly I'd like to find a way to detect which fields are used of a method: public class A { private String test1 = ""; private String test2 = ""; public void test() { Console.WriteLine(test1); } } Should therefore list test1. I tried this using Mono.Cecil, but unfortunately I couldn't find lot of

Let's say I have a private, "instance," non-static, bool method in a third-party dll. All this method does is return a value. Nothing else. How would I go about intercepting calls to this method, changing it's IL OpCodes/method body, or redirecting it to an extra, overridden or derived method. I do not want to decompile the third-party dll, manually change the source, and recompile it. I also would rather not to save the assembly to disk as this would also involve using a "recompiled" assembly instead of the original. I basically want to be able to use the original dll - no replacements or
