Sources for MS Framework

[Ondrej Sevecek]

Hello,
are there somewhere sources for the framework class libraries? Or does MS
provide only IL binaries?

Ondra.

There are 5 ways to get at the source, but doesn't mean it is MS source:

1) Look at Rotor
2) Look at Mono
3) Use ILDASM on the Framework
4) Use something like Reflector to read the source in C# (but won't be the
exact C#, but close). Also there are others that are much better at
decompiling than Reflector (Reflector tends to crash on some of my own stuff
and some parts of the Framework).
5) Get a job at Microsoft.
Thanks,
Shawn

Anakrino works great as a C# decompiler, it gives me a lot of insight into
the framework, especially when evaluating the need to override or replace a
control...

It certainly would be nice for Microsoft to release the source to .NET one
day. It would make things much easier when you need to extend the
functionality of a control.

I tried anakrino also and it crashed on some of the MS functions and on many
of my own.
