I'd like to analyze .Net assemblies to be language independent from C#, VB.NET or whatever.
I know Roslyn and NRefactory but they only seem to work on C# source code level?
There is also the "Common Compiler Infrastructure: Code Model and AST API" project on CodePlex which claims to "supports a hierarchical object model that represents code blocks in a language-independent structured form" which sound exactly for what I looking for.
However I'am unable to find any useful documentation or code that is actual doing this.
Any advice how to archive this?
Can Mono.Cecil maybe doing something?
You can do this and there is also one (although tiny) example of this in the source of ILSpy.
var assembly = AssemblyDefinition.ReadAssembly("path/to/assembly.dll");
var astBuilder = new AstBuilder(new DecompilerContext(assembly.MainModule));
decompiler.AddAssembly(assembly);
astBuilder.SyntaxTree...
