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. I understand mov, call, jmp, ptr, dword and
some of the other obvious pieces. I'm looking to understand some of the
less obvious pieces of MSIL so I can better understand how my code is being
constructed in release mode.
TIA,

Sorry, should have mentioned that I've searched my entire hard drive for two
files I was told I should have: Partition II Metadata.doc and Partition III
CIL.doc, neither of which I can find.

This is probably far less than what you were hoping for, but this will help
you understand MSIL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...m_tutorial.asp
It's a tutorial for the MSIL disassembler.

They should be in the <visual studio install folder>\SDK\v1.1\Tool

Beyond that, the syntax you showed looks more like x86 assembly, not MSIL.
How are you viewing the IL?

ILDASM.EXE is what I used to look at the disassembled code.. I see lots of
ldarg, callvirt, idc.i4.x, nop.... i know what these are, i think, load
arguments to the stack, callvirt is obvious, idc.14.x i have no idea, nop
seems to do nothing, as its always a blank line. I'll have someone with
..NET installed send me these files, or look for them off my installation
CD's.
Thanks,

nop is literally "no op". Its an instruction that does nothing. VB tends to
insert more than C#, but the JIT will probably dump 'em.
ldc.i4.x loads the value of x onto the evaluation stack. There are other
forms of the instruction which goes beyond 9(or whatever the limit is).
Another option might be the framework SDK documentation, look up the OpCodes
class it has a list of opcodes and descriptions which might be
helpful(replace .'s with _ though). .NET installed send me these files, or look for them off my installation
CD's.
