There are some FREE & Open Source .Net DLL Decompliler And Assembly Browser. These applications help developers to get back their source code after built/compiled all project source code into DLL files. Plus, you also need to preview and ensure all source code from your team members as well as third party are running correctly.
From my experiences, I’ve downloaded and played with some applications as I’ll mention below support:
- Syntax highlight
- Nice variable/type/property/method structure
- Navigatable Function/method Declaration/Implementation
- Visual Studio look and feel
- And much more
