• Alternate wpf treeview implementations

  Thanks for the tip! I reimplemented my treeview with the implementation in https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy though, because it seemed like that one works better with the theming in my application. So far I like it. Cheers mate.

• Microsoft locks .NET hot reload capabilities behind Visual Studio 2022

  Using the built-in decompiler is VS is shoddy it is no where near as good as ILSpy. Go here https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/releases/tag/v7.1 and install the VSIX package and you will be able to right click > Open in ILSpy on any code.

• Are there tools for convenient researching source code of builded assemblies?

  Check out ilspy for an open source option which is pretty solid.

• Devs who open source their games, why?

  ILSpy for example can extract all of the C# source code for a Unity game in almost exactly the same form as it was originally.

• Today I learned that crouching causes the upper cutoff line of the pufferfish explosion radius to raise up a bit.

  It's not in that particular file, so I looked at a decompiled version of the game's code - since the game is in unobfuscated C#, it's pretty simple to use a program like ILSpy to decompile it. (This isn't always legal to do, but fortunately, the Celeste devs are generally cool with people using tools to reverse-engineer the game, as long as you don't, like, redistribute the entire thing, or copy large parts of it and claim it as your own.)

  Download ILSpy from here.

• C# ms documentation really bad.

  - either use the integrated decompiler in Visual Studio or Rider ... or use external programs like https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy or https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/

• Creating a custom animation preview editor window or how I ended up trying to rip C# code from Unity's DLL
  1 project | reddit.com/r/Unity3D | 7 Jun 2021

  I used ILSpy to decompile UnityEngine.dll and UnityEditor.dll. Inside, I found several classes that might match what I'm seeing in the editor: AnimationEditor, AvatarPreview...

• Need solid UI Builder/Toolkit resources (documentation and tutorials)

  A good IDE and knowledge of how to use it is def something worth investing in. I recently switched to rider and my day to day coding 'happiness' has gone up a bunch. But in case you don't end up getting Rider or VS on windows (which should have a free version?), there are tons of free alternatives for dead-simple decompilation, e.g. ilspy . Decompilation has def come in handy for me outside of unity's code... sometimes you just need to see what the third party code is doing.

• PSA: The .NET Source Browser is Super, SUPER Useful

  It's also useful to use a tool like ILSpy or DNSpy to see what the code you are using is actually executing.
