As I use to start stories to my kids when they go to bed:

“A long long time ago when I was a kid there existed a tool called
.NET Reflector, by a great wizard called Lutz Roeder. This wizard created
a magical tool that allowed you to discover what where the dark forces of the
Framework that produced weird behavior. And he provided it to the code warrior so
they could find their path”

Well .NET Reflector still exists and is a great tool, but is no longer free. You can no longer
just download it and enjoy its bliss : S

But is everything loss. Should I sell my sword and horse to be able to use the .NET reflector Oracle jQuery15203662828153464943_1359277348820?

No. There are now good free alternatives.

First one is call ILSpy(http://wiki.sharpdevelop.net/ILSpy.ashx). It looks almost the same as .NET reflector. Is not the same but is very good

And recently JetBrains a clan of powerful code warlocks, has just release another magical jewel,
they called it dotPeek (http://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/):
