. Net Service Installation Tool (regsvcs.exe)	By loading and registering an assembly, and generating, registering, and installing the Type Library to an existing COM + 1.0 application, add the Managed class to the Windows 2000 component service.
XML serialization Program Generator tool (sgen.exe)	Creates an XML serialization assembly for the type in the specified assembly to improve Runtime performance.
Soapsuds tool (soapsuds.exe)	A remote processing technology helps you compile client applications that communicate with XML Web Services.
Type Library Export Program (tlbexp.exe)	Generate a Type Library from a set of common language runtime libraries.
Type Library import program (tlbimp.exe)	Convert the type definitions found in the com Type Library to the equivalent definition of the managed metadata format.
Web Service Description Language tool (wsdl.exe)	The XML Web Services and XML Web Services client code is generated from the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) protocol file, XML schema definition (XSD) architecture file, and. discomap discovery file.
Web service discovery tool (disco.exe)	Find the URL of XML Web Services on the Web server, and save the documents related to each XML Web Services to the local disk.
XML schema definition tool (xsd.exe)	The generated XML architecture should comply with the XSD language proposed by the W3C. This tool can generate the Common Language Runtime Library Class and XSD architecture file Class.

Debugging tools

Tools	Description
Microsoft CLR debugger (dbgclr.exe)	The graphic interface provides debugging services to help application developers find and fix bugs in various programs in the Runtime Library.
Run the library debugger (cordbg.exe)	Use the Common Language Runtime Library "Debug API" to provide the Command Line Debugging service. It is used to find and fix bugs in various programs for the running library.
. Net SDK command line debugger (mdbg.exe)	Use the Common Language Runtime Library "Debug API" to provide the Command Line Debugging service.

Certificate Manager tool (certmgr.exe)	Manage certificates, certificate trust lists (CTL), and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL ).
Certificate verification tool (chktrust.exe)	Verify the validity of the file signed with the X.509 Certificate. This certificate verification tool is only available with. NET Framework SDK 1.0 and 1.1. In the newer. NET Framework SDK version, use the signature tool (signtool.exe) instead.
Code access security policy tool (caspol.exe)	Allows you to check and modify computer, user, and enterprise-level code access security policies.
File signature tool (signcode.exe)	Use the Authenticode digital signature to sign the portable execution file (PE. This file signing tool is only available with. NET Framework SDK 1.0 and 1.1. In the newer. NET Framework SDK version, use the signature tool (signtool.exe) instead.
Permission viewing tool (permview.exe)	Displays the minimum, optional, and denied permission sets for Assembly requests. You can also use this tool to view all descriptive security information used by the Assembly.
Peverify tool (peverify.exe)	Performs msil type security verification and metadata verification on the specified assembly.
Policy migration tool (migpole.exe)	Migrate security policies between two compatible versions of. NET Framework.
Secutil tool (secutil.exe)	Extract strong-name public key information or Authenticode publisher certificate from the assembly in a format that can be merged into the code.
Set registry tool (setreg.exe)	Allows you to change the registry settings of the software release key, which controls the behavior of the certificate verification process. This registry setting tool is only available with. NET Framework SDK 1.0 and 1.1. In the newer. NET Framework SDK version, use the signature tool (signtool.exe) instead.
Signing tool (signtool.exe)	Digitally sign the file to verify the signature in the file and timestamp file.
