Question on edit .dll


Tommy Cox

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm not very good with programming but I do have a file and i'm in Visual Studio messing around doing trial and error.

After saving the file in Visual Studio will the file change the .dll file as well? 

 

 

Thanks,

Young

No, you need to build the project again

Would you recommend starting fresh then? The only reason I wanted to edit a previous project (.dll) is because I thought it would be easier to understand.'

 

Thanks

You can achieve that by de compiling the dll with a tool like dotPeak. Avvi explained this in a thread:

This allows you to take a look at the code, but not applying changes to the source dll

Did you decompile the .dll ? .NET Decompiler for example. Its possible if you did that some of the code wasnt decompiled if it was C++ for example.

If you change something you need to compile it and the new .dll will get saved into your bin folder. But if you just "save" in VS, then no it wont change
