Instrustions on how to use Reflector

Hello all,

I can't tell you how delighted I am to discover the .NET Reflector.

I am ashamed to say that I have been in several instances where I have failed to properly back up my source code only to watch the PC crash and then I would lose everything.

Suddenly, I realized I would have to find a way to rewrite the code.

Fortunately, I discovered .Net Reflector - which gives me a second chance to view the original source code.

Now, I have watched the demo on how to dissassemble dll files back into vb or c# but I can't seem to perform this task successfully, largely because the video demo shows 2 files - RedGate.Profiler and Reflector and I have no idea where to find the RedGate.Profiler.

I suspect that's what dissassembles the dlls?

Anyhow, any additional instructions on to use the product (successfully) would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't need the profiler to do this :)

    Just load your dll into Reflector, then expand the tree view down to the type level, right click on the type and then choose disassemble.

    This will open up the source code window on the right hand side you can then click expand methods to see the source to the type or click on individual methods in the tree view.

    Hope this helps,
