browsing binaries

I have few binaries (dll) that I use within my project.
I also have sourcecode for those dlls.
What I am trying to achieve is when I want to step into or View defination
(option you get in the context menu of Visual Studio when you highlight and
right click on an API)
of a particular API that belongs to the dll.

Is there anyway I can create a dll which will allow me to do that?
As I mentioned I have the source code of the dll.
I CANNOT INCLUDE THOSE PROJECTS IN MY CURRENT PROJECTS THOUGH.
I can only include the dlls.

I don't know about earlier version but with VS.2005 & managed code, if you
right click => jump to definition it will generate for you a skeletton class
from the assembly.
Also you could use the object browser.

I do not want to browse in Object Browser, what I am really trying to do is
when I click on "View Defination" I want to go inside the code of the API
and not just the skeleton.
I think this involves attaching some attributes to the source code so that
even if it gets compiled it can be browsed back to the source code.

Ho I see...
VS.NET doesn't decompile the source code. There is no attribute to do that,
maybe there are add-in?
Anyway:
- Reflector (which is an application external to VS.NET) does:
http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/
- If you've got the other project open (in an other VS.NET windows), even if
it's compiled in release mode, you should be able to break and navigate into
your files while debugging...

I'm trying to perform a search that I can't find any information about in MySQL's manuals, discussion groups, or on the Web. I'm used to using BerkeleyDB's Btree, so I can browse to find the alphabetically next match against a query. If I query "faction" in a BDB btree database and use DB_SET_RANGE as one of the parameters, I can get "fiction" as the next closest higher match.

I would like to add my binaries from the Release directory of several projects to source safe. My hope is that I can get latest, build the project, and then check-in so that the binaries are updated in source safe, and then can be used by others who are creating installers from those release binaries. I can add the files directly through the source safe client, but I prefer to use the VSS features through the VS IDE. If I add the...

A user reports problems with one of our extensions when running the intel compiled extension on ppc and vice versa. He is building the extension as a universal binary. Although the intel compiled version runs fine it displays a known bug when run on a ppc. It appears we have an endianness dependency which is statically compiled into the binaries. One proposed fix is to make the endian variable code dynamically change at run time. ...

I have an asp.net 2.0 website with vb.net classes. I can run that website with no problems from vs.net and from an iis 6.0 server. I deploy using a standard copying of files. I noticed a similar website i did not develop has a /bin folder with binaries. I presume the developer compiled the site to binary at some point to deploy only binaries. What other steps/happenings would cause the creation of a /bin folder with binaries?

Hi, I know that it is impossible to browse through the source code of C library in Linux. But I do not remember how. In short, I would like to see the implementation of standard header files such as <string.hetc. I use Ubuntu. I've even downloaded the linux-headers. I can see only asm code in /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386. Any pointers/help appreciated.

Hi, I have to homologate my binaries so I need them to be byte-per-byte identical after each compilation (if the source code is the same, logically).
