Is there a tool that can explain the size of a .NET assembly (executable or DLL file)?
In the olden days, there was an IDE extension that would detail the space used by a project.
It should show the large code files:
And data resources:
Is there such a thing for the .NET world?
I really thought that moving to .NET, and no longer having to build the entire VCL into the executable, that executable sizes would shrink.
The standard SDK took ILDASM (IL Disassembler), had the "Statistics" option in the View menu, which broke it down like this:
File size : 3072
PE header size : 512 (456 used) (16.67%)
PE additional info : 167 ( 5.44%)
Num.of PE sections : 2
CLR header size : 72 ( 2.34%)
CLR meta-data size : 1572 (51.17%)
CLR additional info : 0 ( 0.00%)
CLR method headers : 15 ( 0.49%)
Managed code : 77 ( 2.51%)
Data : 512 (16.67%)
Unaccounted : 145 ( 4.72%)
Num.of PE sections : 2
.text - 2048
.reloc - 512
CLR meta-data size : 1572

This should provide a good starting point.
