Can any .NET decompiler handle 100% of control flow constructs? Or are they all doing non-general naïve structuring algorithms? It seems the algo's are always kept quite proprietary but the graph structure is the only real interesting part of the decompiler.

Forgive my ignorance, but I've not seen a graph view in a .NET disassembler. And my guess would be no, to your question, based on the different output I've seen by decompiling the same EXE using different tools. I think you can get close, if you know the language and framework. However, compiler options, etc, would dictate that you would never see a true representation, regardless. That said, you may want to start your own thread to get a potentially better response.
