Tips for fixing up decompiled .NET code?

I have decompiled a .NET binary with dnSpy and the resulting output has some strange things in it like this

Code:

                public HouseType(sbyte id, string name, string unitTeamColor, string buildingTeamColor, [TupleElementNames(new string[]

                {

                        "type",

                        "teamColor"

                })] params ValueTuple<string, string>[] overrideTeamColors)

                {

                        this.ID = id;

                        this.Name = name;

                        this.UnitTeamColor = unitTeamColor;

                        this.BuildingTeamColor = buildingTeamColor;

                        this.OverrideTeamColors = overrideTeamColors.ToDictionary(([TupleElementNames(new string[]

                        {

                                "type",

                                "teamColor"

                        })] ValueTuple<string, string> x) => x.Item1, ([TupleElementNames(new string[]

                        {

                                "type",

                                "teamColor"

                        })] ValueTuple<string, string> x) => x.Item2);

                }

and this

Code:

                                for (int i = 0; i < array2.Length; i++)

                                {

                                        var <>f__AnonymousType = array2[i];

                                        this.plugin.Map.Triggers.Add(<>f__AnonymousType.NewTrigger.Clone());

                                        this.plugin.Map.Triggers.Remove(<>f__AnonymousType.OldTrigger);

                                }

and this

Code:

                [CompilerGenerated]

                internal static string <LoadINI>g__indexToType|20_1(IList<string> list, string index)

                {

                        int num;

                        if (!int.TryParse(index, out num) || num < 0 || num >= list.Count)

                        {

                                return list.First<string>();

                        }

                        return list[num];

                }

Are there any good tutorials on how to fix up such things?

This is normal code, what do you need to fix ?

Try to familiarize yourself with .NET framework classes, maybe this can help.

Turns out that ILSpy is the best decompiler and produced output that had few problems.

The ValueTuple and AnonymousType are just in a really ugly long form syntax. They can be reduced easily. Incidentally it's one reason to avoid them in code designed to be high performance as they can introduce extra generated code. The naming on the compiler generated function can be cleaned up that's the only annoying thing there. As for getting rid of all the compiler generated functions, this is the job of a good decompiler that can manage such refactorings

how to avoid start activation during 30 trial days and after that using an unic code changing next ?

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim num As Integer
Dim num2 As UInt32
Dim num3 As UInt32
Try
If (MySettingsProperty.Settings.Culture.Length > 0) Then
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo(MySettingsProperty.Settings.Culture)
End If
Catch exception1 As Exception
Dim ex As Exception = exception1
ProjectData.SetProjectError(ex)
Dim exception As Exception = ex
ProjectData.ClearProjectError
End Try
Me.Localize
Me.KSVE = New KSVE4Class
Me.KSVE.Initialize(-1281006)
Me.KSVE.FindActivation(num, num2, num3)
If ((num <> 0) And (num <> &H100)) Then
Me.RunActivationApplication
MyBase.Close
Else
Me.voice = New SpeechSynthesizer
Me.ComboBox1.Items.Clear
Dim voice As InstalledVoice
For Each voice In Me.voice.GetInstalledVoices
Me.ComboBox1.Items.Add(voice.VoiceInfo.Name)
Next
If (Me.ComboBox1.Items.Count > 0) Then
Me.ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0
End If
End If
End Sub

just wondering how does the ILSpy decompile your code?
