How to convert dll to source code?

Curtis,

First of all it is possible to convert .Dll over to source code but sometimes it's not an easy undertaking. You can decompile your .dll files if they are written in .NET. Now, if you obfuscated your code this can make the process much more difficult. 

I guess the thing you need to look at it the reason behind the conversion, if you are doing it because of the "intruders" out there, even if you convert the files someone who really wants the files will still eventually figure them out. So you need to decide how you truly want the files to look before going into a conversion.

My best idea for you here is – please use .Net reflector for browsing, analyze, decompile and debug .Net code. It would be much helpful for you. Thank you and see you.

How to convert dll to source code?

In fact, this is really difficult to convert dll to source code a .dll is a compiled code so at first you have de-compile it. Above all, if you can collect the original source code this will be very easy to convert it. Also you can use dot Net Reflector to do this job but this not free but you can get this for only 30 day trial version from the below link – https://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/reflector/
