🖥️ A full-featured open-source IDE for .NET — Binary analysis, reverse engineering & build tooling > 🚧 **Active Development** — New features, editors and panels are being added regularly. The IDE application is under active construction. Contributions and feedback welcome! WpfHexEditor — Full IDE with VS-style docking, project system, and multiple editors The IDE • Editors • Controls • Panels • Quick Start • Docs • Changelog --- 🖥️ The IDE Application **WpfHexEditor** is a full-featured binary analysis IDE for Windows, built entirely with WPF and .NET. It goes far beyond a simple hex editor — think Visual Studio for binary files. 🏗️ Project System • **Solution & Project** management ( / ) • **Visual Studio / / ** — open and build VS solutions directly (#101–103 ✅ in progress) • **MSBuild integration** — build, rebuild, clean with output routed to the Build channel • **Virtual & physical folders** (like VS Solution Explorer) • **Format versioning** with auto-migration • **Per-file state** persistence (bookmarks, scroll, encoding) 🪟 VS-Style Docking *(🔧 100% in-house engine)* • **Float, dock, auto-hide** any panel • **Colored tabs** with per-document customization • **8 built-in themes** (Dark, Light, VS2022Dark, DarkGlass, Minimal, Office, Cyberpunk, VisualStudio) • **Tab placement** left / right / bottom 📋 IDE Infrastructure • **IDocumentEditor** plugin contract — every editor is pluggable • **Shared ** — coalescing (500 ms), transactions, save-point tracking; across all editors • **Rectangular selection** (Alt+Click) + **drag-to-move** — CodeEditor & TextEditor • **VS2022-style status bar** (edit mode, bytes/line, caret offset) • **Output panel** + **Error/Diagnostics panel** + **Quick Search** (inline + advanced) • **VS2026-style Options** — document tab, auto-save, live theme preview • **Integrated Terminal** ( ) — 31 built-in commands, panel/plugin/file management • **Plugin System** — open API, packages, Plugin Manager, **IDE EventBus**, **Capability Registry**, **Extension Points**, **Dependency Graph** • **NuGet Solution Manager** — Browse/Installed/Consolidate/Updates across all projects 🔍 Binary Intelligence • **400+ file format** auto-detection with **format-aware editor routing** • **Parsed Fields Panel** with structure overlay • **Data Inspector** — 40+ type interpretations • **Assembly Explorer** — .NET PE inspection, types, methods, fields; C# decompilation to Code Editor tab; Extract to Project; Collapse/Close All; **Ctrl+Click external symbol decompilation** (AppDomain + runtime + NuGet resolution) *(#104-106 — in progress)* • **HexEditor control** — 19 languages with instant switching *(IDE UI is English only — full localization engine coming soon)* --- 📝 Editors WpfHexEditor uses a **plugin architecture** ( ) — every editor is a standalone, reusable component hosted in the docking system. | Editor | Status | Progress | Description | |--------|--------|----------|-------------| | **Hex Editor** | ✅ Active | ~75% | Binary editing — insert/overwrite, 400+ format detection, search, bookmarks, TBL, status bar contributor | | **TBL Editor** | ✅ Active | ~60% | Character table editor for custom encodings and ROM hacking | | **Code Editor** | ✅ Active | ~90% | Multi-language code editor — VS-like navigation bar (types/members combos, Segoe MDL2 icons, caret tracking), full syntax highlighting (55+ languages), URL hover/click, find/replace, , split view;
