ILAsm

Short description: Microsoft Assembler for textual representation of Common Intermediate Language

ILAsm (IL Assembler) generates a portable executable (PE) file from a text representation of Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code. It is not to be confused with NGEN (Native Image Generator), which compiles Common Intermediate Language code into native code as a .NET assembly is deployed.
