Lutz Reflector[^], the must-have tool for every .NET developer, listed as one of Scott Hanselman's 10 life- and work-changing utilities, has been bought by Red Gate[^].
Q. “How can it be good news that a commercial software company is taking ownership of a free community tool?” A. “I think we can provide a level of resources that will move the tool forward in a big way. The first thing we are doing is continuing to offer the software to the community for free downloading. The second thing is giving our product management and usability teams the task of going out into the community to get suggestions on how we can make this amazing tool even better. We accept the fact that there will be scepticism, but we can point to a good track record of support for the community. People were wary a couple of years ago when we purchased the SQL Server Central community site, but over time we have won over many of our critics by investing heavily in the site and boosting its readership, while allowing it to maintain editorial independence. I’m hoping I will be able to sit here in a few years time and claim the same level of success with Reflector.”

ILDasm? Bah! I open .NET assemblies in Notepad and look at the bytes as text to find my way around!

A truly outstanding programmer can find bugs buried in a 6 megabyte core dump without using a hex calculator. (I have actually seen this done.)

Virginity is not a requirement.

We might as well hop right to it[^]. ;)

Eh, but Developer tagged it as a repost the first time around; that's gotta negate any future allegations... :-\

You're taking him at his word?
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

And you have to register on their site to download it. Why do I have to register to download free software?

You had to do that before too.

It's irritating but to be honest it's no big deal.

So they can send you emails nagging you to buy stuff, of course. :rolleyes: (i've previously made the mistake of using real email addresses for downloading trial versions of their software, and subsequently regretted it)

Maybe this kind of thing depends on the company. I've registered for free software a number of times without being subsequently nagged. I downloaded Reflector earlier today (6 hours ago) with a real email address. Not had an email yet but let's see what happens.

But would be advantageous.
Why? I don't want some nervous nellie screaming in pain, and I'm not in the mood to be a teacher.

Hi all, During the download process we have added a checkbox which allows you to subscribe to the ".NET Reflector Newsletter". This newsletter will be news and updates about our progress with Reflector and a selection of relevant articles drawing from Red Gate's Community Journal Simple-Talk (http://www.simple-talk.com/). Examples of the type of content we will be running in the newsletter are articles on software design (such as http://www.simple-talk.com/dotnet/.net-tools/software-tool-design-design-by-sketching/), interviews with hopefully interesting people such as our recent interview with Linus Torvalds (http://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/linus-torvalds,-geek-of-the-week/) and anything else we think is interesting. There is no point in us spaming you for the sake of it. We would much rather provide interesting content and get you interested in Red Gate that way. Unless you opt in you will not get an email from us. James -- James Moore Red Gate Software Ltd

Well, hopefully he got some good pay for it! Nice when someone can make money on a utility in today's development world :)
