Is there any readable, up to date (.net 4) MSIL Reference Manual?

  • You might try checking wikipedia, although it is not guaranteed that it is 100% correct: [List of CIL Instructions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CIL_instructions) – grizzly May 26 '15 at 20:58

There is a bunch of downloadable reference documents here.

Including the ECMA-335 Common Language Infrastructure documentation (pdf), dated June 2006, and other draft documents dated 27 March 2010.

  • Yes, I have that. I use it but I think it fails "readable". I was more hoping for something like "MSIL in a Nutshell" a la O'Reilly – Max Yaffe Nov 18 '10 at 15:40

    @Max Yaffe - that's like asking for x86 assembly in a nutshell ;) – Oded Nov 18 '10 at 15:40

Actually, scanning the pile of .Net, C#, ... books I own, Donis Marshall has a very good chapter on MSIL Programming in "Programming MS Visual C#2005: The Language". It's been updated to C#2008, but not to 2010 yet.
