Welcome to the Cecil wiki!

Cecil is a library to generate and inspect programs and libraries in the ECMA CIL format. It has full support for generics, and support pdb and mdb debugging symbol format.

In simple English, with Cecil, you can load existing managed assemblies, browse all the contained types, modify them on the fly and save back to the modified assembly.

This github project hosts the new version of Mono.Cecil which is a complete rewrite from the previous version that is widely used, in particular within the Mono project. In due times, it will replace inside Mono the previous version of Cecil.

You can read the FAQ, if you have any other question, please post it on the mono-cecil mailing-list.
