Auto-decompilation is a feature that transforms compiled binary code into a higher-level programming language, such as C#, allowing us to examine, troubleshoot, and fix issues in external code as if they were working with their own code. This is particularly useful for debugging scenarios where the source code is not available or when we need to inspect code from a third-party library.
