MSIL

Hello,

I have read a lot about how the .NET Framework uses
MSIL as its intermediate language. If I have a project
in C# in VS.NET 2003, how do I get the MSIL for it so I
could look at it? Better yet, I would like to obfuscate
it using the Dotfuscator Community Edition and then get
the obfuscated MSIL into a text file of some sort. How
would I do this? Thanks for your help!

have a look at ILDASM (the basic MSIL viewer)
you can load up your assembly and have a look at msil code.

over the last few days i have looked into Dotfuscator and how it works
(though went straight for professional version rather than standard version
which ships with VS.NET)
to then see how good or bad the dotfuscator output is... download some
decompilers and load the dotfuscatored assembly...

Is there some article out there that helps in reading MSIL? I've been looking but can't find anything, and I'm probably just looking in the wrong spots for the wrong keywords.

Hi all, I'm just starting to experiment with MSIL but am getting confused about c# and MSIL integration. I understand that c# is compiled into MSIL before it is JIT'ed and then executed.

My understanding is the MSIL runs on the CLR and the CLR is basically the JIT compiler plus Garbage collection. This part "MSIL runs on the CLR" is a bit vague to me can anyone give me a clearer definition and explain how these 3 work together. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Clarification needed please. If I compile a C++ program with the /clr option inpsection of the resulting assembly with ILDASM shows MSIL even for methods in classes for which I have not specified garbage collection with __gc. Am I correct in thinking there is really two kinds of managed (i.e. MSIL) code from C++, that which uses garbage...

VB6 doesn't do this to me, whereas, if I read Balena correctly, VB2005 always will. The one single and...
