ILDasm introduction

- [Instructor] So the first tool we're going to be looking at…is a tool called ILdasm,…which is short for the IL Disassembler.…And the ILdasm utility basically is intended…to allow for developers…to be able to look at the generated bytecode…that the compiler produces.…So the whole point of this,…it is a common language infrastructure disassembler.…It's actually part of each…of the various .NET SDKs that ship,…so Mono has one,…the Core CLR has one,…of course the Windows .NET Framework has shipped with one…since the very earliest days.…
