Use dotPeek     Select the  dll to decompile     That s it

User · Answer

You can use dotPeek The only thing I have to say is that when using it  right-click on the class to select Decompiled Source instead of double-clicking  otherwise dotpeek will only display the contents of the local cs file  not the decompiled content  Option instance
