There are a number of tool kits which you can use for this,
that provide APIs for processing .NET DLL or EXE files:

        Don Sym's ILX stuff has one, called "AbstractIL".
        See <http://research.microsoft.com/projects/ilx/absil.htm>.

        The Garden's Point compiler includes one called "PEAPI"
        <http://www.citi.qut.edu.au/research/plas/projects/cp_files/cpnet.html>.
        But I'm not sure whether it handles reading such files, or whether it
        only handles writing them.

        Jim Miller apparently wrote a PE file reader/writer which is
        up somewhere on www.gotdotnet.com.
