The ILDASM GUI does not load and process all the metadata at once; therefore, the ILDASM GUI may not break if you are simply browsing the disassembly (unless you browse into a spot where Dotfuscator has changed the IL). However, if you attempt a complete disassembly into a file, or try to dump the treeview in the GUI, then ILDASM will crash when it comes to the parts of the IL that Dotfuscator changed. Note: The Break Ildasm feature will be removed from future versions of Dotfuscator. Newer versions of ILDASM are able to read the bad metadata Dotfuscator and other obfuscators introduce that cause ILDASM to break.
