Disassembles any portable executable (PE) file that contains intermediate language (IL) code.

Files are only disassembled if the input file is newer than the output file, or if the output file does not exist. However, you can explicitly force files to be disassembled with the NAnt.MSNet.Tasks.IldasmTask.ForceRebuild attribute.

A NAnt.Core.Types.FileSet can be used to select files to disassemble. To use a NAnt.Core.Types.FileSet, the NAnt.MSNet.Tasks.IldasmTask.ToDirectory attribute must be set. The file name of the output file will be equal to the file name of the input file, but with extension ".il".

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
all	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should combine the `/HEADER`, `/BYTE`, and `/TOKENS` options. The default is `false`.	False
bytes	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should generate the IL stream bytes (in hexadecimal notation) as instruction comments. The default is `false`.	False
rebuild	bool	Instructs NAnt to rebuild the output file regardless of the file timestamps. The default is `false`.	False
header	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should include PE header information and runtime header information in the output. The default is `false`.	False
input	file	Specifies the PE file to disassemble.	False
item	string	Instructs the disassembler to disassemble the specified item only.	False
linenumbers	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should include references to original source lines. The default is `false`.	False
noil	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should suppress ILASM code output. The default is `false`.	False
output	file	Specifies the name of the output file created by the disassembler.	False
publiconly	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should disassemble public items only. This is a shortcut for `NAnt.MSNet.Tasks.IldasmTask.Visibility`="pub". The default is `false`.	False
quoteallnames	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should enclose all names in single quotation marks. By default, only names that don't match the ILASM definition of a simple name are quoted. The default is `false`.	False
rawexceptionhandling	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should generate structured exception handling clauses in canonical (label) form. The default is `false`.	False
source	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should generate original source lines as comments. The default is `false`.	False
todir	directory	Specifies the directory to which outputs will be stored.	False
tokens	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should generate metadata token values as comments. The default is `false`.	False
unicode	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should use the UNICODE encoding when generating the output. The default is ANSI.	False
utf8	bool	Specifies whether or not the disassembler should use the UTF-8 encoding when generating the output. The default is ANSI.	False
visibility	string	Instructs the disassembler to disassemble only the items with the specified visibility. Possible values are `PUB`, `PRI`, `FAM`, `ASM`, `FAA`, `FOA`, `PSC`, or any combination of them separated by `+`.	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is `true`.	False
if	bool	If `true` then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is `true`.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `NAnt.Core.Task.IfDefined`. If `false` then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is `false`.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is `false`.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
exename	string	The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.	False
managed		Specifies whether the external program should be treated as a managed application, possibly forcing it to be executed under the currently targeted version of the CLR.	False
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is `false`. Obsolete. Use the managed attribute and Managed property instead.	False

Nested elements

<assemblies>

Specifies a list of PE files to disassemble. To use a NAnt.Core.Types.FileSet, the NAnt.MSNet.Tasks.IldasmTask.ToDirectory attribute must be specified.

</assemblies>

Examples

Disassembles helloworld.exe to helloworld.il.

<ildasm input="helloworld.exe" output="helloworld.il" />

Disassembles a set of PE files into the specified directory.

    <ildasm todir=".">
    <assemblies>
        <include name="*.exe" />
        <include name="*.dll" />
    </assemblies>
</ildasm>
