Assembly, Build, Deployment and Configuration Tools
| Tools | Description |
| Al.exe (Assembly Linker) | The Assembly Linker generates a file that has an assembly manifest from one or more files that are either modules or resource files. |
| Gacutil.exe (Global Assembly Cache Tool) | The Global Assembly Cache tool allows you to view and manipulate the contents of the global assembly cache and download cache. |
| Ilasm.exe (MSIL Assembler) | The MSIL Assembler generates a portable executable (PE) file from Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) |
| Ildasm.exe (MSIL Disassembler) | The MSIL Disassembler is a companion tool to the MSIL Assembler (Ilasm.exe). Ildasm.exe takes a portable executable (PE) file that contains Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) code and creates a text file suitable as input to Ilasm.exe. |
| Installutil.exe (Installer Tool) | The Installer tool is a command-line utility that allows you to install and uninstall server resources by executing the installer components in specified assemblies |
| Mage.exe (Manifest Generation and Editing Tool) and MageUI.exe | The Manifest Generation and Editing Tool (Mage.exe) is a command-line tool that supports the creation and editing of application and deployment manifests. |
| Ngen.exe (Native Image Generator) | The Native Image Generator (Ngen.exe) is a tool that improves the performance of managed applications. Ngen.exe creates native images, which are files containing compiled processor-specific machine code, and installs them into the native image cache on the local computer |
| Regasm.exe (Assembly Registration Tool) | The Assembly Registration tool reads the metadata within an assembly and adds the necessary entries to the registry, which allows COM clients to create .NET Framework classes transparently. |
| Regsvcs.exe (.NET Services Installation Tool) | The .NET Services Installation tool loads and registers an assembly, generates, registers, and installs a type library into a specified COM+ application and configures services that you have added programmatically to your class. |
| Resgen.exe (Resource File Generator) | The Resource File Generator converts text (.txt or .restext) files and XML-based resource format (.resx) files to common language runtime binary (.resources) files that can be embedded in a runtime binary executable or compiled into satellite assemblies. |
| Storeadm.exe (Isolated Storage Tool) | The Isolated Storage tool lists or removes all existing stores for the current user. |
Security Tools
| Tools | Description |
| Caspol.exe (Code Access Security Policy Tool) | The Code Access Security (CAS) Policy tool (Caspol.exe) enables users and administrators to modify security policy for the machine policy level, the user policy level, and the enterprise policy level |
| Certmgr.exe (Certificate Manager Tool) | Manages certificates, certificate trust lists (CTLs), and certificate revocation lists (CRLs). |
| Makecert.exe (Certificate Creation Tool) | The Certificate Creation tool generates X.509 certificates for testing purposes only. It creates a public and private key pair for digital signatures and stores it in a certificate file |
| Mscorcfg.msc (.NET Framework Configuration Tool) | The .NET Framework Configuration tool (Mscorcfg.msc) is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that enables you to manage and configure assemblies in the GAC and adjust code access security policy |
| Peverify.exe (PEVerify Tool) | Helps you verify whether your Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) code and associated metadata meet type safety requirements. |
| SignTool.exe (Sign Tool) | Sign Tool is a command-line tool that digitally signs files, verifies signatures in files, and time-stamps files. |
| Sn.exe (Strong Name Tool) | The Strong Name tool (Sn.exe) helps sign assemblies with strong names. Sn.exe provides options for key management, signature generation, and signature verification. |
Debugging Tools
| Tools | Description |
| Fuslogvw.exe (Assembly Binding Log Viewer) | Displays information about assembly binds to help you diagnose why the .NET Framework cannot locate an assembly at run time. |
| MDbg.exe (.NET Framework Command-Line Debugger) and Sos.dll | The NET Framework Command-Line Debugger helps tools vendors and application developers find and fix bugs in programs that target the .NET Framework common language runtime. |
Interop Tools
| Tools | Description |
| Tlbexp.exe (Type Library Exporter) | The Type Library Exporter generates a type library that describes the types defined in a common language runtime assembly. |
| Tlbimp.exe (Type Library Importer) | The Type Library Importer converts the type definitions found within a COM type library into equivalent definitions in a common language runtime assembly |
