Microsoft Releases .NET Source Code

The .NET libraries will be available to be free downloaded and browsed, and if you own a copy of VS 2008 it will provide special debugging for them. Owners of VS 2008 will be able to download .NET source code debugger symbols from a Microsoft server.

When you debug a .NET application and hit a breakpoint in your code, you'll now be able to see a debugger call stack. This stack will contain detailed file and line number information for the .NET Framework classes and methods in your application.
