Question

I need to change the code of the .NET DLL. I am able to see the code by compilable the DLL with .NET reflector, but I am not able to change the code of the DLL. With .NET Re

Answer 1

The following code is working:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\ildasm.exe" original.dll /out=code.asm
echo Here changes to code.asm should be done.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ilasm.exe /dll code.asm

So if the change in code is to be small, it's doable by making the changes in assembly code directly. One can compile and disassemble simple methods to see how the assembly code should look like. Putting additional methods inside the assembly file should not be too hard too.

Of course code analyzis should be done using ilspy-like tools, displaying the source code rather than assembly code.

Tools employed here come from Windows SDK (ildasm) and from .net framework (ilasm).
