Glass.NET enters .NET decompiler space with navigation-focused IDE-like experience
Glass.NET is a new .NET decompiler built on the ICSharpCode.Decompiler engine, the same core used by ILSpy and dnSpy, meaning its C# output accuracy is comparable to existing tools. Rather than competing on decompilation quality, Glass.NET differentiates itself through an IDE-style navigation workflow, offering features like Go to Definition, Find All References, fuzzy quick-open, and call/type hierarchy browsing. It also includes a detailed Assembly Information view, assembly comparison with line diff, and an exposure report summarising what a given assembly reveals. The tool uses lazy loading and off-thread decompilation to stay responsive on large assemblies, and performs strictly static analysis without ever executing inspected code. Glass.NET is free and positioned for legitimate use cases such as debugging own binaries, reviewing dependencies, and security analysis.
