Mass flag reset

[DotNetResearcher2]

If I want to whizz down the TypeDef table in an Assembly (and possibly the Method table) and reset the Flags on each type to make them all public, is there a tool in existence that would let me do it?

There's a pretty good post on the Assembly structure here:

And I'm sure given enough time I could knock something up, but rather than yak shaving I was wondering if a tool already existed.

Many thanks,

I'm not aware of any ready-made tool. Most obvious choice would be to use Mono.Cecil and write ~20 line utility for that purpose.

OK, thanks. There are hundred of types...and I'm lazy

Will post back when I have something working.

Edit:

Wish I'd seen Cecil sooner I mean, I'd heard about it, but not really understood it. Turns out my problem was trivial to solve:

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
AssemblyDefinition assembly =
AssemblyDefinition.ReadAssembly(
@"C:\Path\To\InputAssembly.dll");

foreach (TypeDefinition typeDefinition in assembly.MainModule.Types)
{
Console.WriteLine(typeDefinition.FullName);
typeDefinition.IsPublic = true;
}

assembly.Write(@"C:\Path\To\OutputAssembly.dll");
}
}

Thanks again Kao
