Usage

Open tool window using menu item "Tools ▶ Msiler: MSIL Code Viewer" and build/rebuild project.

Options

Global options

Update listing only if toolbox is visible - if enabled, bytecode listing will be updated, only if Msiler windows is visible. It can be useful, because hidden Msiler window will not perform any actions. This feature should be disabled, if you has Msiler as background tab (for example), because in this case bytecode content will not be updated. (default: true)

User interface

Font name: Bytecode listing font name (default: Consolas)
Font size: Bytecode listing font size (default: 12)
Show line numbers: if enabled line numbers will be displayed (default: true)
VS Color theme: Visual studio color theme, bytecode listing highlighting will be adjusted based on this value (default: Auto)

Excluded methods

Some methods now can be excluded from method list:

Exclude getters/setters - if true, generated getters/setters (methods started with get_ or set_) will be excluded from method list (default: false)
Exclude anonymous methods - if true, anonymous methods (methods contains < and > characters in names) will be excluded from method list (default: false)
Exclude constructors - if true, contructors (.ctor methods) will be excluded from method list (default: false)

Listing generation options

Ignore NOPs - if true, extension will ignore all NOP instructions (0x00 bytes) (default: false)
Display numbers as HEX values - if true, numbers in listing will be displayed as hex values (for example 123 will be displayed as 0x7B) (default: false)
Display offsets as decimal numbers - if true, offsets in listing will be displayed as decimal numbers instead of HEX representation (IL_0427 will be shown as IL_01AB) (default: false)
Simplify function names - if true, function names will be simplified (experimental) (default: false)
Upcase OpCodes - if true, all OpCode names will be upcased (ldarg.0 will be displayed as LDARG.0) (default: false)
Align listing - if true, all instructions in listing will be aliged (default: false)

Example: With disabled option

IL_0010 brtrue.s IL_0026
IL_0012 call WTManager.ConfigManager.get_Preferences
IL_0017 callvirt WTManager.Preferences.get_EditorPath
IL_001C call System.IO.File.Exists
IL_0021 ldc.i4.0
