Visual Studio To Support .Net Source Code debugging

I just found out about this, and I had to say something.

Apparently, the new version of Visual Studio 2008, due for release in the next few months sometime, is supposed to have support for debugging right down into the .Net Framework code base.

Awesome!!!

Granted, I would probably be just as happy if Microsoft had better (much better) documentation, but this is an excellent start.

Microsoft has a reference license, which allows developers to view the code base. It's not open source, but it's still viewable, and that really helps. Well, anyway, being able to debug the source code of Microsoft's .Net framework assemblies that my code uses will make it much easier to understand what is not working, and more importantly, why.

See Scott Guthrie's Blog post here to find out more.

Way to go Microsoft
