As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been studying IL recently and I’m exploring the idea of writing some .NET reversing tools. In my searching I’ve seen many people reference documents in the Tool Developers Guide found in the SDK (usually at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Tool Developers Guide”. However, when I browse my local copy of the SDK, I’m greeted with only a single file “Readme.doc” of which this is the entire contents:

The material that previously existed in this location have been added to the SDK documentation, as whitepapers on MSDN or moved to another location in the SDK.

• ECMA Partition documents are located at http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/ecma/default.asp
• asmparse.grammar was moved to ..\include\asmparse.grammar

Despite all my best searching I have yet to find these documents anywhere? Even when I occasionally come across the name of one of the documents supposedly in the guide (such as “DebugRef.doc”) I have yet to find that document mirrored anywhere. I’ve tried reinstalling the SDK but found nothing. The one option left I can think of is reinstalling the .NET 1.1 SDK. The documents would be a little dated, but I would at least have a start.

Anyone else have suggestions?
