If you use it long enough you will learn IL eventually and won't need Reflector any more. ;-)<BR/>I've been "Reflector-free" for a quite long time now. :-)<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, currently DILE cannot read or use debugging symbols at all. The idea is good and I know it would be a nice feature to have. Actually, I first thought of it when I realized that reading the IL code without local variable names is a little bit difficult. No doubt, it's on my todo list but I don't think that this is the most important feature to have. At last, I would rather like to work on the compiler part to put some meaning behind the "editor" word but that's still far. I have to finish and fix a few things first... But if .NET will be around even after a few years then I will definitely add PDB support.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for using DILE and let me know if you have any problem or suggestion about it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/> Zsolt PetrenyZsozsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12927195109264343868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-52979183755636205472007-06-08T04:58:00.000+02:002007-06-08T04:58:00.000+02:00By the way, is there any way to load the debugging symbols (the PDB files) for the assemblies you're disassembling? Or is that a dumb question?<BR/><BR/>DavidXiardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00394359665822545078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-75853556563436366492007-06-08T04:56:00.000+02:002007-06-08T04:56:00.000+02:00And I'd like to confirm that yes, it's very helpful. :-)<BR/><BR/>I was able to step into the Framework IL, and follow along with Reflector. I was finally able to see which code paths were being taken. It will take me a little longer to understand the IL opcodes well enough to really understand what's going on in the Framework code, but just being able to follow which methods are being called is a HUGE help.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>David CaterXiardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00394359665822545078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-40485450334408585632007-06-08T04:35:00.000+02:002007-06-08T04:35:00.000+02:00A friend of mine that I'm working with pointed me to this site. I'm about to download DILE and try it out. My goal is to be able to step through .NET framework code to get a better understanding of what's happening "under the covers" in certain cases. I watched the tutorial, and it was very clear and helpful. So far this looks like a tool that could be really useful for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>David CaterXiardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00394359665822545078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-86151857860407035332007-05-11T15:11:00.000+02:002007-05-11T15:11:00.000+02:00Hello Georgi,<BR/><BR/>Good news, I have added handling of events (.event) to DILE. The source code in SVN already contains this feature. If you want to, then you can test it.<BR/><BR/>Is there anything else that is missing? :-)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/> Zsolt PetrenyZsozsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12927195109264343868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-75325531255596324102007-05-03T16:31:00.000+02:002007-05-03T16:31:00.000+02:00Hello Georgi,<BR/><BR/>Thanks, it's always nice to hear if somebody finds my work useful.<BR/><BR/>I feel embarrassed. There's only one reason why .events are not processed by DILE: I have forgotten about it. Shame on me... I will add it before the next release. Thanks for warning me! :-)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/> Zsolt PetrenyZsozsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12927195109264343868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-5896556899233133382007-05-02T23:32:00.000+02:002007-05-02T23:32:00.000+02:00Hi, Zsozso.<BR/><BR/>I like DILE. It is an useful tool. May I know when it will process events? I can't see .event processing in it.<BR/><BR/>Please, do not stop developing DILE.<BR/><BR/>ThanksGeorgi D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-40819585380105917572007-03-31T17:49:00.000+02:002007-03-31T17:49:00.000+02:00Hi,<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for the offer, it sounds interesting but I'm afraid it's too early. Currently DILE cannot make any output assembly, it has no compiler. I still want to improve the debugger part of the application before starting to play around with the compiler interfaces, so it will take some time before I can really start to work on the compiler part.<BR/>Perhaps, it would be nice to have a plug-in system later like Reflector has, but first of all I want to finish the 3 most important parts of DILE: disassembling, debugging, compiling. 1.5 out of 3 is ready. :-)<BR/>The other 1.5 still needs lots of work...<BR/>Actually, the code of DILE is also quite complicated and chaotic in some places, I don't think that anything could be built on the top of it currently. It's really not like an API... :-( (I have never used the Unmanaged Metadata API and debugger API before and this can be seen on the quality of the code as well, I would do lots of things differently now after learning so much about them)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you once again for the offer. I'm always happy to hear when somebody likes this project. :-)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/> Zsolt PetrenyZsozsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12927195109264343868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9566251.post-74309597046052519732007-03-29T15:41:00.000+02:002007-03-29T15:41:00.000+02:00Hi,<BR/><BR/>It will be fine to have an obfuscator integrated in DILE.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I can help you this way and develop the code for this ?<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>MSN Messenger : cdemez2@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
