Advanced .NET IL Assembler is a
comprehensive drill-down into the inner workings of the .NET Framework.
Acknowledged runtime expert and Microsoft insider Serge Lidin steps through the
internal structures and operations that take place when .NET code is executed,
showing how the syntax and grammar of the coding language is broken down into
low-level units that can be expressed through the ILAsm language that runs
behind the scenes in .NET.
By reading this book you will develop
the skills you need to write tighter, faster, .NET code; to debug complex error
handling situations; and to oversee multi-language and multi-platform projects
with confidence.
What you’ll learn
- Discover
the structure of the .NET execution sequence and the Managed Executable Files
that lie within it. - Step
through the core .NET component modules, namespaces and classes and see how
each is consumed by ILAsm and can be optimized for execution - Learn how
to use the IL Assembler and Disassembler tools to analyze .NET code, metadata
structures and exception handling within Visual Studio. - Understand
the issues that surround multi-language and multi-framework projects - Develop
your own Custom Attributes and tailor them for speed and security.
Who this book is for
This book is aimed at .NET developers with a good understanding of
C# and an understanding of how the .NET Framework framework stack operates. All
concepts related to the CLR and MSIL are introduced from first principals. The
