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...
