Microsoft reveals .NET code(reine.se)

submitted by minkmachine(45) 4 years, 4 months ago

Today it was revealed that Microsoft will release the sourcecode to parts of the .NET Framework. This means you won't have to peek through disassemblers such as Reflector any longer to understand what's going on under the hood (yes, the .NET Framework libraries are unobfuscated and the IL can be reverse-engineered). read more...

Frans Bouma Is Right About The .Net Source Release (Mostly)(blogs.ittoolbox.com)

submitted by alexexmachina(1020) 4 years, 4 months ago

Ok, so I got a little cranky and wrote Microsoft Releases .Net Framework Source ... and Receives Criticism.

Why Microsoft can't ship open source code(weblogs.asp.net)
