Decompiling extension methods: the [Extension] attribute is the only trace, the receiver was just the first argument, and the call that looks static

An extension method is one of the purest examples of C# sugar that evaporates in IL. You write this on the first parameter, call it as text.WordCount(), and feel like you added a method to string. The

Did your obfuscation actually work? Check it in Glass.NET

You ran your obfuscator. The build succeeded, the tests are green, the package is signed. So your code is protected now — right? Maybe. A successful build tells you the obfuscator didn't crash. It tel

Understand unfamiliar third-party .NET code with Glass.NET

Sooner or later every .NET project leans on a DLL that nobody can explain. The package was abandoned three years ago and its repository is gone. The internal utility library was written by someone who

Glass.NET vs ILSpy, dnSpy and dotPeek: a decompiler you navigate

When you open an unfamiliar .NET assembly, most decompilers show you code and leave you to scroll. We built Glass.NET around a different idea: reading someone else's assembly should feel like reading

See what a .NET assembly depends on and calls with Glass.NET

You are about to ship a third-party DLL inside your own product, and you want one thing settled first: what does it actually reach out to? Not what the README claims — what the binary is wired to do.

Extract and read embedded resources from a .NET assembly with Glass.NET

A compiled .NET assembly is not only code. Baked into the same file, next to the IL, is a surprising amount of data: .resources string tables compiled from .resx, localized strings in satellite assemb

Turning a DLL back into a buildable project with Glass.NET

A decompiler that only shows you code in a pane keeps you a tourist. You can look, you can scroll, but you can't work. The moment you want to grep an assembly for every call to File.Delete, run a stat

Decompile a single-file or self-contained .NET app with Glass.NET

You published a .NET app. Now you want to read what actually shipped — maybe it is your own release and the source is long gone, maybe it is a tool whose behaviour you are investigating. So you drag t

Diff two versions of a .NET assembly with Glass.NET

You have v1.2.0 of a DLL and someone just handed you v1.3.0. Maybe it's a dependency your package manager wants to bump, a hotfix a vendor emailed over, or a NuGet update with a changelog that says "b
