This article talks about how you can get an integration of Source code server with your .NET programs so that you can easily see the Source code of the .NET library while you debug. By source code I mean the actual source code.

It's pretty interesting, but I've never used this feature. I actually prefer to limit the debugging to my code only unless I'm truly convinced it's a problem with .Net itself. I've never been convinced that it was a problem with .Net (that wasn't already documented somewhere).

I've heard about the ability of Visual Studio to step into framework code but hadn't seen how to do it until this article. This is a great introduction, thanks for the contribution!

While this is a feature I rarely use, it's definitely a worthy addition to VS. ILSpy (by the SharpDevelop guys) tends to be handier to use for most things (when MSDN docs don't cover it, or you want to do some reflection hacks). It can also make debugging a rather slow processor, so I would say to use sparingly...
