Decompile and compare .net Assemblies ( DLLs )

[Myster]

Hi
Could BC be configured to decompile and compare sources of .net DLLs?
I believe telerik's 'just decompile' product supports command line interaction.

Cheers.

Hello,

Yes, if you can use this "just decompile" program from the commandline (given a .dll input, and getting a text output), you can plug it into BC3 to be performed automatically.

I would recommend first contacting telerik or scanning their documentation for their command line parameters, as the first step would be to get it working from the command line without BC3 involved. A sample could be:
decompile.exe "c:\file1.dll" "c:\TempOutput.txt", where TempOutput.txt is a created, temp file.

This can then be plugged into BC3. We have a sample/example KB article about that here (which uses an RESX Sorter program as the example):
