Cecil
|

|
|
=====

|
|
||
|
|
Mono.Cecil is a library to generate and inspect programs and libraries in the ECMA CIL form.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To put it simply, you can use Cecil to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Analyze .NET binaries using a simple and powerful object model, without having to load assemblies to use Reflection.
|
||
|
|
* Modify .NET binaries, add new metadata structures and alter the IL code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cecil has been around since 2004 and is [widely used](https://github.com/jbevain/cecil/wiki/Users) in the .NET community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The best way to learn how to use Cecil is to dive into the [Cecil.Samples](https://github.com/jbevain/cecil.samples) repository. It's a growing collection of samples with the goal of showing how to get things done using Cecil, as IL manipulation can sometime get tricky.

|
Read about the Cecil development on the [development log](http://cecil.pe).

|
To discuss Cecil, the best place is the [mono-cecil](https://groups.google.com/group/mono-cecil) Google Group.

Cecil is a project under the benevolent umbrella of the [.NET Foundation](http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/).
