Msiler 2.2

New features

• Visual studio 2017 support (incl. Community version)
• Highlight active line: when enabled, active line in bytecode listing will be highlighed
• Show instruction description in listing: when enabled, instruction information will be shown before or after (based on setting) every instruction

Example: when Instruction description mode = disabled

IL_0013 | 16         | ldc.i4.0
IL_0014 | 0C         | stloc.2
IL_0015 | 2B48       | br.s        IL_0089

when Instruction description mode = BeforeLine

// ldc.i4.0: Push 0 onto the stack as int32.
IL_0013 | 16         | ldc.i4.0
// stloc.2: Pop a value from stack into local variable 2.
IL_0014 | 0C         | stloc.2
// br.s: Branch to target, short form.
IL_0015 | 2B48       | br.s        IL_0089

when Instruction description mode = AfterInstruction

IL_0013 | 16         | ldc.i4.0 // ldc.i4.0: Push 0 onto the stack as int32.
IL_0014 | 0C         | stloc.2 // stloc.2: Pop a value from stack into local variable 2.
IL_0015 | 2B48       | br.s        IL_0089 // br.s: Branch to target, short form.
