Hi Norman,

The ILDasm tool is used to inspect the raw MSIL (.net assembly language) of
a certain assembly(or exe).

#MSIL Disassembler (Ildasm.exe)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f7dy01k1(VS.80).aspx

the screenshot you provided shows that you've launched the ildasm, after
that, you can use "file-->open" menu to open a .net assembly file. Then,
you can view the IL code of the assembly and also some other information
such as metadata....

Sincerely,

My question was about the ildasm window in the left part of my screenshot,
not the ildasm window in the right part. The second window has a
file-->open menu (and some other menus and I know how to use some of them).
The first window doesn't. Do you know what the first ildasm window was
doing?

(As mentioned in my first posting: I invoked ildasm, couldn't figure out
what it was doing, and invoked it again.)

Thanks for your quick reply Norman,

Oh, I see. The black ILDASM windows does be unexpected. How did you launch
the ildasm? I've tried type ildasm.exe in both VS 2008 and VS 2005 command
prompt, seems only one white window will popup.

Re: ildasm by Norman

I launched both instances of ILDASM in exactly the same way. Several months
ago I added the following shortcut to my Start menu. I put the shortcut in
the Visual Studio 2005 - Tools subfolder, together with Microsoft's
shortcuts for other tools.

Target of link:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\ildasm.exe"

Working directory:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin"

Size at execution time:
Ordinary window.

Usually for me also just one white window pops up. My question isn't about
the usual working case. In the strange case, I did exactly the same thing
as always. As described in my first posting, when I repeated the command,
it worked properly the second time.

This is not really a serious problem since it doesn't block my work. I
think it shows a bug in the ILDASM command and it can affect anyone at
random times. It's just odd and I wonder what the ILDASM command was doing.

Thanks for your reply Norman,

that much be some parituclar condition that cause the ildasm to popup such
an additional window. I suggest you post this as an issue request on the
connect site:

#Visual Studio and .NET Framework - English
