Or Can I have some code to do this?

Please help.

Edit 2: I now use DotPeek from Jetbrains. Its ability to decompile as I need to while debugging is amazing.

Edit: Now that Reflector is no longer a free tool, a newer tool ILSpy is under development.

ILDASM is your friend if you don't want to use other tools.

I tried .NET Reflector and wasn't fully happy of the quality of decompiled code. Then I came across dotPeek and I must say it's way better then Reflector. I had to make only one small adjustement and decompiled code works as it should after compiling it in Visual Studio. I really recommend this decompiler especially it's completely free of charge.

RedGate has a good tool and it was free: .NET Reflector

Or you could use MS's ILDAsm (also free)

With Reflector check the file disassembler plugin too if you want to extract source.
