Commented Issue: Reflector.Diff: Always comparing to the self

bemar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:58:43 GMT

I'm trying to compare two versions of the same assembly, both located on a remote share (I'm using a UNC path). I open one assembly in Reflector and use the Browse buttons of the Diff screen and dialog boxes to locate the second assembly which resides in a different folder. When I select the second assembly and click OK, Diff displays "Comparing to self" in the top label and does not show any information about the second assembly. I must mention that both assemblies have the same version, but they are in fact different. I thought that it could be an issue with a UNC path, so I copied the second assembly to my desktop and renamed it, but still got the same result. If I pick a system assembly, Diff works as expected.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: bemar **

Here's my workaround. I recompiled the latest assembly and increment the version number in AssemblyInfo.cs (just to make it different from the old one). Add the two assemblies (old and new version) in Reflector. Select the first assembly then click the Tools->Assembly Diff submenu. There you go.

Created Issue: PowerShell Langauge bug in multiplication

Jaykul — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:14:41 GMT

First of all, AWESOME work, thanks to everyone involved ... and ... is this still the best place to post bugs for these?

I have an assembly where the code generated looks like this in C#:

{{
for (int i = 0; i < num5; i++)
{
double num9 = (random.NextDouble() * num6) + num;
...
}
}}

But like this, in PowerShell:

{{
for($i = 0; ($i -lt $num5); $i++)
{
$num9 = (($random.NextDouble()$num6) + $num)
...
}
}}

It's just missing a multiplication operator: *

Created Issue: Reflector auto-update doesn't work through a non-MS proxy server

SSG31415926 — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:30:30 GMT

Reflector doesn't allow the user to submit credentials as part of the auto-update process meaning that everytime a new version is released the built-in one is disabled and a new version has to be downloaded manually.

Created Issue: Crash when expanding types from disassembler view

ewest305 — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:02:02 GMT

Disassemble System.Linq. From disassembler view, click to expand types then App crash. The Linq assembly is under System.Core. Screenshot of error provided.

Created Issue: Resource Extractor

grigorey — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:39:15 GMT

This is .NET Reflector Add-In that allows extraction of the resources form the assembly into provided folder.

To use this:

1) Click on the assembly (root element)

2) Tools --> Extract Resources

3) Choose a folder (via folder browser window)

4) Click OK, all resources from an assembly will be extracted to specified folder.

Enjoy...

PS. I do not take any responsibility for how you will use it nor if any damage is cause to you or machine you executed this add-in on, This is for educational reasons only.

Commented Issue: Reflector.Diff: Always comparing to the self

Another comment here is that although Reflector.Diff is very nice I found it inconvenient for one of 2 typical scenarios:
1) you are looking at a specific place in code (typically a method)
2) you are looking at what changes are in the whole assembly
Re 1) Reflector.Diff works like charm
Re 2) It's much better to export certain assembly using the built-in Reflector export feature which will produce "a project" for you and then you should be able to use any file/directory comparison tool you prefer to use (I recommend open-source WinMerge or built-in comparison tool from Total Commander)

Ok, I just confirmed that the problem 99,99% is caused by assembly version number.
I used Reflexil addon for .NET Reflector to update the assembly version number. After I saved Reflector.Diff started working as expected. I haven't actually got into the details of it but possibly Reflexil does many changes (besides the version number) to the original assembly so probably you should expect some changes like references order change, etc.

I get the same result with the practically the same scenario (I'm not loading from UNC, but local hard drive).
Anyone knows how to change the version of assembly?

COMMENTED ISSUE: Add Comment functionality to FileDisassembler

lutzroeder — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:00:18 GMT

If you are in Reflector and you go on a special Class, press the space key, you will see the disassembled class WITH COMMENTS (XML comments). If you use the "FileDisassembler" you dont see the comments (e.g. <summary> This is a summary</summary>) any more. Please provide the possibility to create disassambled file WITH comments. Thanks.

As per the title.

Not sure what release of .NET this was targeting, but in no case will the generated code compile because of (at least), this single issue.

Comments: ** Comment from web user: kfarmer **

The flaw looks to be in GenerateDefineMethod, in EmitLanguageWriter, about half-way down the source. Just doesn't emit any method attributes as a second argument.

Can't seem to editor or delete comments on issues here on CodePlex.

Sorry, but I have to ask, Is CodePlex really that brain-dead ?????????

In any case, the comment was a reference to the ReflectionEmitLanguage add-in

Reflector allow to configure a webproxy for the application, but for both Silverlight Loader and Silverlight Browser never used the proxy configuration.

CLOSED FEATURE: Command Line Interface with Xml Output for Code Metrics

lutzroeder — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 07:31:07 GMT

This isn't so much an issue, more of a feature request! I'd like to be able to use Reflector/Peli's code metrics add-in during the Continuous Build process. The most valuable output would be the weighted cyclomatic complexity (I guess in descending order), with perhaps the granularity as a command line parameter (class / method etc). An XSL could then be created to transform the XML into a formatted web-page, much as NCover does with its coverage statistics.

I'm sure some of the other add-ins could also be used during the continuous build, and a command line interface would be useful for them also.

Keep up the good work on a terrific product guys!
Comments: Try this from command line:

Reflector.exe /Run:Reflector.CodeMetrics /Assembly:"Foo.dll" /OutputPath:"c:\Report.txt"
