Reverse Engineering asp.net web app


I have an asp.net web application. I don't have the source code. The bin contains 10 assemblies and a .compiled file. I used Reflector on the App_Code.dll and it shows me classes and namespaces and stuff, but its such a mess.

Is there any way to reverse engineer this web app that won't take weeks/months to unfold? The application is pretty basic.

Note, the code is written by an engineer that left the company. We own the product.


Solution

  • With reflector you can save the reflected code out to a project which you can load up in Visual Studio. It´s probably your best choice.

    What you see is what you get and you just have to wade thru it in order to understand what´s going on in the program. Reading code is no free lunch.
