I downloaded a .NET app the other day and wondered how the author was accomplishing one piece of it.  He had made the source code available for download, so I downloaded it and started digging in.  But it didn't take me long to realize the the author had no style whatsoever - the code was a mess!

While I was reformatting the code to make it readable, I had a thought - it might be faster to use Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector to disassemble the exe and then read the generated code.  I tried it and within a few minutes I had found what I was looking for.

What an awesome tool!
