Drag it onto Reflector, it will try to decompile it instantly. If it fails, the app is not a .NET one
that sounds not really effective. Is there another way to identify it without the 'refletor'? like we differ someone face.
Another option is to use PEiD ( I mentioned about it in some part II or III of this series. ) It's the *most* effective option. It works not only for .NET apps, but for all kinds of EXEs, even encrypted, packed ones too. Download PEiD and use it to examine the exe. If it's a .NET one, PEiD will show "Microsoft Visual C# / Basic .NET". Not only that, it gives loadz of useful info about the exe.
Hi, I've tried the 'reflector' to crack some exes, but none success, maybe they aren't .NET, can anyone gave one program as example to crack? I can't find the DLL file of Deblector, what is it named?

Hey bro i liked the article but what is .NET exe. Can we use this method to crack othr formats like game Exe's too. Thanks
You can use this method to crack .NET games. Games that are not in programmed .NET, won't be decompiled by Reflector. But don't expect much, because these tutorials are just for beginners. Cracking games would require considerable knowledge/skill in cracking. Good luck
Even if this is your first article, it seems to be clean in content. Nice to read the article. Thanks for sharing.
