.NET Framework Library Source Code is Available

In October of last year, I published a blog post about our plans to release the source code for the .NET Framework libraries and enable debugging support for it in Visual Studio 2008. Today, I'm excited to announce that source code support is now available! Specifically, you can now view and debug the source code for the following .NET Framework libraries:

- .NET Base Class Library (including System, System.CodeDom, System.Collections, System.ComponentModel, System.Diagnostics, System.Drawing, System.Globalization, System.IO, System.Net, System.Reflection, System.Runtime, System.Security, System.Text, System.Threading, etc.)

- ASP.NET (System.Web, System.Web.Extensions)

- Windows Forms (System.Windows.Forms)

- Windows Presentation Foundation (System.Windows)

- ADO.NET and XML (System.Data and System.Xml)

We are in the process of adding other framework libraries (including LINQ, WCF, and Workflow) to the list above. Over the next few weeks or months, as they become available, I will write blog posts to inform everyone.
