Need to View / Edit a DLL

[appelq]

I was given an ASP.NET application that connects to a SQL Server Database.

The Database was backed up off the old server and we installed it on our servers just fine.

The ASP.NET application attempts to make a database connection but that function is in a DLL file and it seems to be hardcoded to the old SQL Server machine (I'm guessing the IP Address is hardcoded).

I need to look into the DLL that is being called in the ASP code when making the connection. To edit it so it connects to my new SQL Server instance, or at least view the contents so I can accurately recreate the funtionality in a new DLL file.

Are there any tools that can help with this?

Thanks,
Chuck

If you don't have access to the source code of the DLL, you will need a decompiler such as Reflector or Salamander to view the source. You will then have to rebuild a new DLL based on the changes you make and change your application to reference the new DLL.
