This project is a work-in-progress backport of .NET Framework 2.0 - 3.5 to Windows 9x. Currently 2.0 is believed to be largely functional while work on 3.5 has just begun.

Sandcastle produces accurate, MSDN style, comprehensive documentation by reflecting over the source assemblies and optionally integrating XML Documentation Comments. Sandcastle has the following key features:

NDoc generates class library documentation from .NET assemblies and the XML documentation files generated by the C# compiler (or with an add-on tool for VB.NET).

NETGuard.IO protects your application from tampering and cracking using state of the art techniques.

A tool for browsing public and private members in any running .NET application (and a generic InvokeRemote method that wraps the code injection).

 The MSIL Disassembler is a companion tool to the MSIL Assembler (Ilasm.exe). Ildasm.exe takes a portable executable (PE) file that contains Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) code and creates a text file suitable as input to Ilasm.exe.

Hawkeye is a .Net tool that allows you to view, edit, analyze and invoke (almost) any object from a .Net application. Whenever you try to debug, test, change or understand an application, Hawkeye can help.

Babel Obfuscator is a powerful protection tool for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Programs written in .NET languages, like C# and Visual Basic .NET, are normally easy to reverse engineer because they compile to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language), a CPU-independent instruction...

Crypto Obfuscator For .Net provides advanced code protection, obfuscation and optimization for your .Net assemblies with its powerful techniques such as symbol renaming, method overload renaming, method call hiding, control flow obfuscation, resource and assembly encryption...
