Study code

Assemblies can be decompiled and presented as C# code, IL code, or original source code can be fetched from local or remote location using PDB files and symbol servers. For more information, refer to Presentation options for compiled code.

Decompiled or source code is shown in the code viewer tabs, which have the look-and-feel of editor tabs in Visual Studio with configurable options for line numbers, word wrap, outlining, white space marks, and more.

The viewer provides all common editor features such as line numbers, word wrap, white space marks, and outlining.

Most of ReSharper-like features are available in the Code Viewer. For instance, Navigate and search features, Syntax highlighting, Quick Documentation, and more.
