ILSpy, An Assembly Inspector

Published by anton at 6:00 AM under Software

.NET Reflector is an excellent assembly inspector for .NET, however it has became a commercial product under RedGate.

Fortunately, there is a free tools named ILSpy. It is developed by #Develop team. The GUI is done with WPF and uses some #Develop’s components, and it uses Mono.Cecil to do reflection.

FYI, Jetbrains will also release a free .NET Decompiler named DotPeek, but I haven’t tried it. It is in early access stage now.

Annoying VS 2008 Security Warning

Published by Anton at 4:01 AM under Software

I got flu and I can’t think clearly. Today I returned home earlier and copied my uncommitted office work to my pc, for backup purpose. Then I opened my Visual Studio 2008 and loaded my copied solution in my home pc, somehow annoying warning appeared.

The <Project Name> project file has been customized and could present a security risk by executing custom build steps when opened in Microsoft Visual Studio. If this project came from an untrustworthy source, it could cause damage to your computer or compromise your private information.

  • Load Project for Browsing
  • Load Project Normally

I suspect this has something to do with installing Visual Studio 2010. Perhaps it overwrote some of Visual Studio 2008 settings.

I’m using Windows Vista 32 bit, and fortunately this is internet era. I solved it by adding a folder named Startup in C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs .

Thanks to this article which really helped me.

ResEx , The .NET Resource Editor

Published by Anton at 7:31 AM under Software

I’m working with .NET localization lately, and this stuff helps me a lot.

resex2

Resex is translation friendly resource editor, which is created by Dimitris Papadimitriou. It receives neutral culture .resx as an input, and  it will produce a new .resx based on local culture that you select. What makes it rocks is that you can edit local culture directly beside the base value (the value of neutral culture). Simple and effective. Visit this for more information.

Writing Blog Article With Windows Live Writer

Published by Anton at 3:06 PM under Software

You know, I’m not an experienced blog writer. So when I setup this blog and write my first “Hello World” article , I used TinyMCE web editor.  Yesterday when I was searching syntax highlighter for BlogEngine.NET, I found Scott Hanselman’s helpful article . So now, by using Windows Live Writer and PreCode plugin, I’m able to publish article. No need to open web browser and it is more comfortable than using TinyMCE :)
