Here's the .BAT file that I use to debug IL assembler in Visual Studio. The created .IL.IL file contains the original source code lines and your generated IL assembler lines but does not show jitted machine code. I named the batch file ILDEB.BAT and is invoked as "ILDEB mypgm". I use the IL assembler directive "break" to force Visual Studio debugger to breakpoint when hit.

for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %%1 in ("%1") do set NAME_ONLY=%%1
@erase/q %NAME_ONLY%.il.il
@if not exist %NAME_ONLY%.dll goto quit
ildasm /out:%NAME_ONLY%.il.il /source /nobar %NAME_ONLY%.dll
@if not exist %NAME_ONLY%.il.il goto quit
ilasm /dll /debug /out=%NAME_ONLY%.dll %NAME_ONLY%.il.il
@if not exist %NAME_ONLY%.dll goto quit
peverify %NAME_ONLY%.dll
:quit
