Red Gate Software - Another freeware app goes payware.

<< < (2/3) > >>

mwb1100:
Just as an FYI, anyone put off by Reflector freeware going away might want to keep an eye on JetBrains, makers of ReSharper (R#).  Apparently they're planning on including a decompiler in R# 6, and are planning on providing a free stand-alone version:

I see mass migration in the very near future...

scancode:
Well, if they promised it would remain free, then it's only fair to reflect reflector to reflect the timebomb

Have you tried it? It's quite obfuscated :/

f0dder:
Nah, haven't looked at it. But I'm sure others have, or will now that they're pulling the free version. That, combined with Jetbrains' move, and I think we're currently seeing redgate writing a suicide note.

steveross:
I have personally never used .NET Reflector, but one of my colleagues was very pissed off about Red Gate's move and has been looking for alternatives. It's not about the $35, but is a matter of principle as they had promised the tool would be free and they are now pulling the rug underneath developers' feet. Anyhow, my colleague was happy about Jet Brain's announcement and he also came across this website http://www.keepdecompilingfree.com that I thought I'd share with you guys.
