| |  .Net Source Code Released
Link  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET has always been an industry leader in providing a programming and debugging environment for numerous languages including Visual C++, C++/#, J/J#, Visual Basic, and many more. However, despite the general good sentiment about the product, Microsoft was oft criticized for not revealing the source code to its libraries.
Now Microsoft is taking steps towards open sourcing its code and finally is letting developers peek under the hood as it releases the source code to the various .NET component libraries. The move is detailed on the blog of Scott Gu, a Microsoft employee.
Scott Gu and his team have been hard at work to provide coders with access to .NET Framework Libraries source code and allow them to debug this source code in Microsoft's upcoming .NET 3.5 and VS 2008 releases.
The initial release will contain source code 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). | |  | |  | | Enjoy  |
