Archival Notice

As outlined in issue #136 we were looking for maintainers, but nobody stepped forward. Thus it has been unmaintained for a very long period of time, and we decided to archive the repository.

Alternative: ilspy-vscode has more features than AvaloniaILSpy ever had and is available on all platforms thanks to VS Code. See feature comparison for what is not there compared to the WPF/Windows version of ILSpy. All future xplat work is focused on the VS Code extension.

We do not intend to resurrect a "copy of ILSpy with UI framework XYZ" as this project has proven how hard it is to keep a copy up to date.

AvaloniaILSpy

This is cross-platform version of ILSpy built with Avalonia.

Supported Features

• Search for types/methods/properties (substring)
• Hyperlink-based type/method/property navigation

• Check out feature support status
