hi

I want to check in the IL code of my assemblies how many box and unbox
instructions are, ILDASM does not allow me to make searches.

What tool can I use that allow me to search word in the IL code?

Here is a low tech way. Run ildasm from the command line to make a listing
file, something like

ildasm xxx.exe /out=xxx.txt /source /nobar

File xxx.txt can be searched for " box " and " unbox " from notepad or
whatever. Be advised that running ildasm this way will make some resource
files that you might want to delete. I think this can also be done from the
ildasm gui, but I have not tried it.
