We are Releasing the Source code to the .Net Framework
Yesterday we announced our plans to release some of the source code for the .Net framework.
We'll begin by offering the source code (with source file comments included) for the .NET Base Class Libraries (System, System.IO, System.Collections, System.Configuration, System.Threading, System.Net, System.Security, System.Runtime, System.Text, etc), ASP.NET (System.Web), Windows Forms (System.Windows.Forms), ADO.NET (System.Data), XML (System.Xml), and WPF (System.Windows). We'll then be adding more libraries in the months ahead (including WCF, Workflow, and LINQ).
One comment I particularly liked was:
We will also provide integrated debugging support of it within VS 2008
Looks like we will all be spending less time in reflector :-)
