Opening a .dll file with dotPeek

I have a question about .dll files. To open .dll files i tried the programm "dotpeek".

Starting the programm, I clicked "files" browsed for my file (it's Minesweeper.dll default windows path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Minesweeper) and i clicked "open". Everything works well, but i can't open the file! The bracket behind it, in the assembly list, says "(not supported)". Does anybody know why?

Im not sure but i noticed that its a ".NetFramework v4.5 " and every other file in the assembly list is "v4.0" could that be the problem???

I Hope somebody can help me

Solution

  • dotPeek and other similar programs like ILSpy are for .NET assemblies. Minesweeper.dll is a native DLL and thus can't be opened in dotPeek.
