MSIL

[Mark Fox]

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...

HTH
