What is a NETMODULE file?

NETMODULE files mostly belong to ildasm.exe. NETMODULE files store compiled .em Intermediate Language (IL) code used by the .NET Framework.
They are created during the build process and become parts of a larger assembly, rather than being standalone executables.
Key details summarized by FilExt.com include:

Compilation: Code from languages like C# or VB.NET is compiled into these modules.
Assembly Component: They are combined with a manifest and other modules to form a complete .NET assembly.
Inspection: Tools such as ildasm.exe can disassemble these files to show the underlying IL. For more information, visit the .NET Official Site.
Runtime Integration: The .NET runtime (CLR) loads these modules to execute the code.

FilExt.com tip: This file type is best understood as a building block within the .NET execution environment. It is not intended to be run directly by the user.
