Is it possible to debug .NET Class Library Methods as well?

Question

With .NET Reflector we can see many .NET Class Library method's implementations.

But is it possible to debug them as well? Or if I can put a break point inside them?

Answer 4

The best option is to follow the instructions in the blog post silky and Frederik have supplied.

For completeness, you can also use an addin for Reflector called deblector, or wait until .Net Reflector Pro (or here) is released, which will let you do exactly what you've described.

Answer 5

With Visual Studio 2005 I had to use the Mass Downloader to get the code and the symbols. Then configure it as the VS 2008, and load the debugging symbols manually from the file (right click on the call stack).
