| Microsoft Makes .NET Framework Source Code Visible Under License |
| As part of an effort to make debugging code at the granular level more feasible with its new Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft today said it will be making the source code for its .NET Framework available under its royalty-free, "read-only" Reference License.
Why would Microsoft want to reveal the inner workings of .NET without allowing others to contribute to it? The answer may be self-evident to developers who work on a daily basis with the problem of examining program behavior, especially using Visual Studio's common tools like breakpoints and watches (alerts which pop up under certain specified conditions). In a fully illustrated demonstration for his Microsoft blog, .NET programmer Scott Guthrie shows how the debugging process is enhanced once Visual Studio has access to the .NET Framework's source code. As the demo shows, the debugger of a .NET program frequently encounters situations where a thread passes execution to a method handled internally by the .NET runtime. Historically, whatever took place there was "behind the curtain," out of sight of the programmer until execution re-emerged and re-entered local code. Read the entire story at source |
