Unrecognised local variables generated by disassembler

• 
  Those variables are in the code usually due to a debug build but sometimes the compiler needs to create a temp variable ... so it names it like that. Usually the Reflector translator can determine that it isn't needed and you won't see it in the C# translation - but in your case it is left over unoptimized code that Reflector didn't optimize out. If you change your optimization settings to None (View->Options->Optimization drop down), you'll see a lot more of these.
  
  For example, the following code:
  public class TestA
  {
  private string x;
  public string TestX
  {
  get { return x; }
  }
  }
  
  In debug version the property getter looks like this (notice the local variable CS$1$00000):
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  .method public hidebysig specialname instance string
  get_TestX() cil managed
  {
  // Code size 12 (0xc)
  .maxstack 1
  .locals init ([0] string CS$1$0000)
  IL_0000: nop
  IL_0001: ldarg.0
  IL_0002: ldfld string Snippet/TestA::x
  IL_0007: stloc.0
  IL_0008: br.s IL_000a
  IL_000a: ldloc.0
  IL_000b: ret
  } // end of method TestA::get_TestX
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  
  The release version looks like this:
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  .method public hidebysig specialname instance string
  get_TestX() cil managed
  {
  // Code size 7 (0x7)
  .maxstack 8
  IL_0000: ldarg.0
  IL_0001: ldfld string Snippet/TestA::x
  IL_0006: ret
  } // end of method TestA::get_TestX
  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  
  So the short story is ... those variables are in there either due to your compiler and then Reflector not optimizing them out in translating to C# - though Reflector does optimize a lot of them out such as in the property getter above - that CS$ variable will get optimized out unless you set the Optimize=None.
