No, they won't. Red Gate has timebombed them so they'll stop working in March.
- acqq 16y agoIf they are also written in .NET wouldn't patching the timebomb be more than easy: first you decompile the Reflector...
- SafdarIqbal 16y agoI tried that once; it's obfuscated.
- amirmc 16y agoAFAIK Reflector's been that way since before Red Gate got it.
- jcl 16y agoIn previous versions, I was stuck by how terribly Red Gate implemented the "time bomb". You run Reflector one day and an innocuous dialog comes up saying "A new version of Reflector is available. Do you want to upgrade? OK/Cancel" And if you click "Cancel", it exits, while silently deleting the executable from the disk. I can't think of another program that violates user expectation quite so thoroughly.
