How to view an Assembly

To view the assembly means to view the IL code, ILDASM converts the whole exe or
dll into IL Code. To start the same:

  on ildasm.exe


• Open SDK command prompt and type ildasm








• Now in ildasm open assembly File -> Open [or ctrl+O]









• Double click on the MANIFEST









• If you want to view mathclass, just double click on it









• For further information about the methods just do the same as you did in above case

What is MANIFEST

This is a very important part of an assembly. It describes the full information
of an assembly, so, in general words it contains metadata of an assembly. Manifest
is a container of metadata of an assembly, which contains the followings:

• Name, version info, culture info etc.


• Identity of security


• Scope of assembly


• Resolve references to resources and classes.
