Jason,

Lutz has written an excellent free product with Reflector and I have
used it often in comparing code generation. You might want to spend a
little more time evaluating our Decompiler.NET product before deciding
that you don't need to purchase Decompilation or Obfuscation software.
You are correct that I had used the same search keywords on the website
since I wanted to respond to similar search criteria and was too lazy to
make up new ones. I also used the CommandBar and ILReader modules
written by Lutz in the current implementation of Decompiler.NET and I
credit him fully in the Credits in the about Dialog. Other than what is
listed in the credits which I am authorized to use, the code in
Decompiler.NET was written entirely at Jungle Creatures. I do look at
Reflector and Salamander often to compare their code generation in
deciding whether mine is correct, but Decompiler.NET has a very
different implementation and generates very different and better code
than either of them. Salamander also does COM Interop and like
Decompiler.NET does a good job with inline assignments and nested
conditionals, but reflector does not generate nearly as complete code.
Decompiler.NET is the only product that generates code that compiles
100% as evidenced by itself. Decompiler.NET is priced very reasonably
compared to the competetive products and it obfuscation features which
others sell seperately.
