Converting IL to C# code

Question

I need to convert the IL to c# code. I have an assembly and I am reading this assembly. I get MethodBody from MethodInfo and the methodbody has a method GetILAsByteArraY()

Answer 1

There is no tool in the BCL that will do this; however, there is a great tool called Reflector, which you can write your own add-ins for. So you could probally use this to get the data you want.

Answer 2

The Lutz Roeder reflector was purchased and is no longer available for free download.

There is now a free (once again) tool called ILSpy. I've found it to be very good, and it will not only generate C# code from IL but will also create a .csproj project if decompiling an entire DLL assembly.

Answer 3

Can't you do this with Reflector?

You can load an assembly and view it as VB.net/C#/IL...

Answer 4

Let's see if I manage to get it in first: .NET Reflector! This really should be a FAQ...

Answer 5

Reflector does this. Perhaps you could use Reflector against Reflector and learn how it handles the problem.

You might also say why you want to do this - there may be a better solution to your overall problem.

Answer 6

Maybe you should try Dis# if you don't wanna re-invent the wheel... It's almost the best tool in converting the code NetDASM has a tool that lets you convert C# to IL. maybe you should take a look at that.
