ILSpy If you've been developing with .Net for any length of time you've probably heard of .Net Reflector. This utility decompiles your .Net assembly and lets you see it as C#/VB. I can't tell you the number of times this utility has saved my hide. Recently .Net Reflector switched from a free (though never open source) to a fee distribution model. This has prompted the community to provide some open source alternatives. One of the top new projects is ILSpy  ILSpy is the open-source .NET assembly browser and decompiler. ILSpy FeaturesAssembly browsing IL Disassembly Decompilation to C# Supports lambdas and 'yield return' Saving of resources Search for types/methods/properties (substring) Hyperlink-based type/method/property navigation Base/Derived types navigation Navigation history BAML to XAML decompiler Save Assembly as C# Project Find usage of field/method Extensibile via plugins (MEF) And while .Net Reflector is pretty cool, there's nothing like have the source to see the source... Speaking of the source, the project downloads, compiles and runs with no issues. Download it, unzip it and it just works. The beauty is that you can see everything. Nothing is hidden... And this project not only provides the ILSpy functionality, but is a real world example of using the cool ic#code AvalonEdit, a cool WPF text edit control too. It's one thing to browse the innards of .Net exe's and DLL's. It's something else to have the source to the project lets you do this browsing...   Image curtsey of pareeerica en Tue, 21 May 2013 17:46:20 GMT Tue, 21 May 2013 17:46:20 GMT Rev9 Re: I spy with my little eye...

ILSpy Redgate allow us to use reflector for 14 days as a trial.

I deleted the trial version after it expired and downloaded a new one, and it just worked..... Wink
