DisSharp

DisSharp (version 1.0.8), developed by NETdecompiler, is a standout tool in the Development Tools category, specifically in the IDE subcategory. Its inline editing capabilities significantly reduce the complexity of source code recovery, ensuring users can regain their valuable work quickly and easily.

One of the standout features of DisSharp is its ability to handle the typical problem associated with decompilation—the absence of full source information in an executable file. For .NET assemblies, this often means missing names of local variables. The program automatically assigns local names according to their types, greatly aiding in the reconstruction of the original source, even if the result can still differ from the exact original. DisSharp takes this a step further, allowing users to edit names and save changes in a project file, offering nearly a 100% recovery experience.

Compatible with a wide range of Windows operating systems including Windows XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11, this tool has a broad user base. The latest version 1.0.8 comes along with program file names Dis.exe, and _82E9268439A85DF7929CB5.exe.

For those interested in previous editions, there are other versions such as 3.1, and 1.0 available. Despite being a Shareware product, which may involve a cost after a trial period, the time saved during the first recovery makes it a worthwhile investment.

Pros:

• Quick and efficient source code recovery.
• Ability to edit local names and save changes.
• Broad compatibility with various Windows operating systems.
• Inline editing makes source recovery less daunting.

Cons:

• Being a Shareware product, it may involve additional costs.
• Despite automatic assignments, the result can still differ from the original source in some cases.

Overall, DisSharp is a valuable tool for developers facing the challenge of lost or corrupted source code, offering a compelling free download for an initial trial and robust performance thereafter.
