B/ Not read IL if I can read real language. http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment7http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment7Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:39:01 GMTI read an article that describes how to do that a few years ago. It is pretty complex process but I tried it and it works. U can take a look at it here: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Debug_Framework_Classes.asp http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment6http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment6Wed, 18 Apr 2007 15:40:01 GMTPresumably, one can try to use ilasm.exe to generate the pdb (/debug option, I think). Speaking of which, does anyone know of a reference that details the structure of a pdb file? I searched, but couldn't find anything ... http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment5http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment5Tue, 17 Apr 2007 04:03:23 GMTYes, there are, but they aren't that many, and they usually for generated code that you aren't interested in. The reason that is skips the MS dlls is because it has no source for them. http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment4http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment4Sun, 15 Apr 2007 23:43:55 GMTThat would be extremely awesome to have. I'd be especially interested in seeing how Viewstate is truly constructed in a piece-by-piece scenario. http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment3http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment3Sat, 14 Apr 2007 20:30:23 GMTThat would be cool, but aren't many if not most methods in Microsoft DLLs marked with an attribute that causes the debugger not to trace through them anyway? http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment2http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment2Sat, 14 Apr 2007 17:51:20 GMTI'm so with you on that... http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment1http://ayende.com/2312/wish-reflector-pdb#comment1Sat, 14 Apr 2007 15:33:56 GMT
