I don't think it's dead, so much as absobed into the F# project. I think this was more due to lack of interested that any sinster reason. F# still uses AbsIL as its back end and the source for AbsIL is still distributed with F# compiler (see source\absil) and you can see a "Microsoft.FSharp.Compiler.AbstractIL" namespace in the FSharp.Compiler dll. I guess using it would probably be "unsuported" but I guess that never stopped the really intrepid.

Oh yeah, I should probably mention that the big advantage of AbsIL was that you could read the IL of method bodies which you couldn't do in framework 1.0/1.1 but you can in version 2.0. Also there are other now other more popular libraries for processing IL that provide this, notably: [link:www.mono-project.com]

Thanks for answer Robert, I'm already found the Cecil library and it's completely fit into my task's requirements - I need to write a function which does similar thing like "Find All References" in VS.NET - with Cecil it's quite easily than from scratch.
