ReSharper decompiler - can I use it for standalone assemblies?

3.5k views Asked by At

I have ReSharper 6.1 and can use the Navigate To > Decompiled Sources command to decompile .NET assemblies for which I do not have source code. This is excellent when I want to take a peek inside an assembly which I have referenced in my code.

Is there a way (as in Reflector and ILSpy) to simply give ReSharper a standalone assembly file and decompile it? I want to take a deployed DLL from a server and view the decompiled code so I can verify it is the version I think it is.

(I am fully aware that the fact I am asking this means our versioning process leaves a lot to be desired, but that's a different topic!)

You can use the standalone tool dotPeek for this task. It uses the same technology as ReSharper.

Use dotPeek which is a standalone application based on ReSharper decompiling engine (or the other way around, as you like)
