The .NET team at Red Gate has released the latest version of the free .NET Reflector (which has been initially created and developed for many years by Lutz Roeder, and then in 2008 it was acquired by Red Gate Software), which adds .NET 4 support and includes a new add-in that lets you jump to a class or method in Reflector, straight from your code in Visual Studio. The latest version of .NET Reflector is already available for download.
Red Gate has also released a new commercial tool called .NET Reflector Pro, which extends Reflector technology to let you debug within Visual Studio against a decompiled source file. You can now step through decompiled assemblies and use all the debugging techniques you would use on your own code. Project Manager Bart Read explains:
"You can step interactively right inside a third-party component, see exactly what's going on, and have the full power and functionality of the Visual Studio debugger to diagnose problems much more quickly and easily."
Read the press release for more information, or read our special interview 'Behind the scenes with the developers of .NET Reflector 6 and .NET Reflector Pro'. .NET Reflector Pro is part of the .NET Reflector V6 download, and can be accessed from within Visual Studio as an extension.
