I recently again came across a situation where I had to decompile an old assembly to see what it was really doing, we all know this problem...

Normally I do it with ILSpy after the redgate one became non-free. However in the assembly I am currently working on, all the fields etc have really bland names to the point where they are all just string1, string 2, etc.

I whish I could just rename those fields to ease reading and keep my sanity. Code does not have to be able to re-compile. Or maybe not rename the fields themselfes but display something like a sticky comment next to them?

The only tool I know that could do this is Dis# but it has a really ugly gui and is paid, a free alternative would be awesome.

Reflexil can do this. I have used it in the past with .NET Reflector, and I am happy to see on its web site that it can now also function with the free-of-charge Telerik JustDecompile.
