IDE for MSIL

Question

There's any number of questions about MSIL on SO but none that directly answer this.

I've been using Textpad which does have a syntax definition file for MSIL and then using ILASM in a command prompt window.

I did find a reference to ILIDE but the link is broken.

Is there an IDE or add-on / plugin to Visual Studio / Eclipse for MSIL that allows syntax highlighting, intellisense, code completion, debugging etc.?

Answer 1

I believe you can do it in #develop IDE.

No intellisense though.

Answer 2

IIRC, Visual Studio will give you debugging, if you assemble with /debug.

I think MS had a demo or sample of some VS plugin that helped a bit with IL. I'm not sure what it was named or if it was released.

Answer 3

I have exactly the same question!

I have found ilide eventually :

http://nida.se/ilide/

(note : strangely, some links to ilide are broken, some of them even mentioning earlier links that are broken , but then supply a link that's broken too. I was able to dowload it and Installed it succesfully from the link above though).

further : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=112895

seems a very good debugger.

cheers, ph

Answer 4

xacc.ide has syntax highlighting for MSIL, and another odd 20 .NET languages.

See some screenshots here.

Use MonoDeveloper! You can build Specialy MSIL projects! It's very useful for these issues! You can use it in both Windows and Linux!!! What is better than this? :)
