.NET Forum / Languages / C# / October 2007Can i decompile * All * the .NET applications ?
Hi Can i decompile * All * the .NET applications for extract original source ? Can i recompiler the source ? > Hi > > Can i decompile * All * the .NET applications More or less, yes. for extract original source ? No. You get a decompiled source. > Can i recompiler the source ? Yes. Note two things: The IL code might be obfuscted, meaning, you won't understand it at all without heavy brain activity. Plus, while you can decompile, it doesn't mean that it is legal to decompile the code.

You can say so, the code might not look the same though, like method variables, etc they might have different names. Also there is a process to "obfuscate" the code, the code is transformed and made more difficult to reverse engineer. There is a tool called .NET Reflector that can be used to decompile .NET assemblies. However some assemblies are obfuscated which is the code is made hard to read and understand. Further more I know from experience that some of the obfuscators scramble the code in a way that it crashes the reflector tool so it is not even possible to decompile it.

Yes, but disassembly is still possible, and MSIL is a much higher level language than say Intel assembler. >> Hi >> >> Can i decompile * All * the .NET applications for extract original source >> ? >> >> Can i recompiler the source ?
