Determine whether .NET assemblies were built from the same source

by

It’s not too painful to use command-line tools to filter out MVID and date-time stamps from a text representation of the IL. Suppose file1.exe and file2.exe are built from the same sources:

c:\temp> ildasm /all /text file1.exe | find /v “Time-date stamp:” | find /v “MVID” > file1.txt

c:\temp> ildasm /all /text file2.exe | find /v “Time-date stamp:” | find /v “MVID” > file2.txt

c:\temp> fc file1.txt file2.txt

Comparing files file1.txt and FILE2.TXT

FC: no differences encountered
