MSIL Can I find the version of Visual Studio that was used to build / compile the .NET assembly?

Question

Is the name of the program that was used to build the assembly recorded in the assembly available anywhere in the MSIL code?

Answer 1

Visual Studio does not create anything - Visual Studio uses MSBuild to create its own building ¹ :

Visual Studio hosts MSBuild for loading and building managed projects.

In fact, you can create MSIL code without Visual Studio by downloading Microsoft Build Tools :

Visual Studio, , Build Tools 2013 . Visual Basic # . ( .NET Framework.)

, ECMA 335, (CLI) - Mono # - .

, , Visual Studio .

Visual Studio ( , ), , Visual Studio , - , .

, Visual Studio .NET, (, Visual Studio 2012 .NET 4.5).
