dnlib.BAML 1.2.0

dnlib.BAML

BAML Editor with dnlib in .NET

Tutorial

To understand correctly, first pay attention to the photo below :

In the Resources, there are resource called *.g.resources, where there are *.baml files.

From now on, we will call this resource by the name g.resources, and we will call the files inside it as its elements.

Now first install the package from Nuget.

Then you can use the library, below I changed the title of the Window and the text of a TextBlock:

using dnlib.DotNet;
using dnlib.DotNet.Resources;

using (ModuleDefMD module = ModuleDefMD.Load("WpfApp1.exe"))
{
    if (module.HasGResources()) //Check if exist g.resources
    {
        var gResources = module.gResources(); //Get the g.resources
        foreach (var element in gResources.Elements) //Get the Elements
        {
            var em = gResources.Read(element.Name); //Read the element
            foreach (var record in em.Document) //Edit...
            {
                if (record.Type == BamlRecordType.PropertyWithConverter)
                {
                    PropertyWithConverterRecord pwcr = record as PropertyWithConverterRecord;
                    if (pwcr.Value.ToLower().Contains("window title"))
                    {
                        pwcr.Value = "dnlib.BAML";
                    }
                    else if (pwcr.Value.ToLower().Contains("change my text"))
                    {
                        pwcr.Value = "Coded By Soheil MV.";
                    }
                }
            }
            gResources.Write(em); //Write the element
        }
        module.RemoveGResources(); //Delete the g.resources in the module
        module.Resources.Add(gResources.GetAsEmbeddedResource()); //Add the edited g.resources to the module
    }
}
