.NET Reflector v6.5 –July 20, 2010

This release fixes a number of bugs in version 6.1. It also adds support for some of the new language features in .NET 4:

  • The dynamic type in C# 4
  • Co- and Contra- variance markers in interfaces and delegates
  • The new expansion of the lock() { } statement
  • Optional parameters

.NET Reflector Pro v6.5 –July 20, 2010

In response to customer feedback, this release changes the installation method for the .NET Reflector Visual Studio add-in so that the add-in is no longer installed automatically. This version also includes the bug fixes and support for new features in .NET Reflector version 6.5.

.NET Reflector and .NET Reflector Pro v6.1 – February 25, 2010

These releases fix several problems that were present in the 6.0 release:

  • Support for using a copy of Reflector.cfg stored alongside Reflector.exe has been re-enabled so users upgrading from 5.x releases will not lose their settings.
  • Fixed unhandled exception on exit of Visual Studio when .NET Reflector add-in used in conjunction with TestDriven.NET add-in.
  • Added better support for dealing with framework assemblies, which only contain meta-data, in the “Referenced Assemblies” folder.
  • Fixed problem where attempted decompilation with CppCliLanguage add-in would lead to display of a page on the Red Gate website.
  • Added option to activate .NET Reflector Pro to .NET Reflector menu in Visual Studio after receiving feedback from a number of users that it was hard to figure out how to activate the product.

 

.NET Reflector v6.0 – February 15, 2010

.NET Reflector is a class browser, analyzer, and decompiler for .NET assemblies.

.NET Reflector 6 includes a new Visual Studio add-in that allows developers to jump into Reflector from your source code.

This version of .NET Reflector supports:

  • .NET 4.0 assemblies
  • Opening assemblies from the Global Assembly Cache
  • Improved graphics and usability

 

.NET Reflector Pro v6.0 – February 15, 2010

The new .NET Reflector Pro is an add-in to Visual Studio that lets you debug third-party code and assemblies. It decompiles the assembly to either C# or VB code, and lets you step through it in Visual Studio 2008, just as you would do with your own code. This is all controlled from a Visual Studio add-in, so you don't need to leave your coding environment.

  • Full support for .NET 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0
  • Decompile an entire assembly to either C# or VB to view and debug in Visual Studio          
  • Step-through debugging of any assembly in Visual Studio (as long as it's not obfuscated):
    • Step into and set breakpoints anywhere in any assembly
    • Watch variables in the decompiled code
    • Use Visual Studio's advanced debugging features in decompiled code: Set Next Statement, modify variable values, and dynamic expression evaluation in the immediate window
