Help understanding an image format
In the future, if you have .NET apps, try dnSpyEx. Compared to Ghidra, it produces excellent output - a lot of the time, it's more-or-less equivalent to the original source. Only issue I have with it is that it's Windows-only and doesn't work great under Wine, so I use it in a VM. If you already use Windows, then it's probably not going to bother you.
