In early October, Microsoft announced that they were going to make .NET API Source available and accessible thorugh Visual Studio debugging. Unquestionably exciting news.

When VS2008 released in November, however, the source wasn't available yet, much to our disappointment, but Scott Guthrie blogged that it ws coming soon.

And come it has!

Scott announced today on his blog that it is now available and points to a post by Shawn Burke with detailed steps on how to get at it.

Shawn gets the most obvious question out of the way, listing which APIs are currently available.

Here they are:

Mscorlib.DLL
System.DLL
System.Data.DLL
System.Drawing.DLL
System.Web.DLL
System.Web.Extensions.DLL
System.Windows.Forms.DLL
System.XML.DLL
WPF (UIAutomation*.dll, System.Windows.DLL, System.Printing.DLL, System.Speech.DLL, WindowsBase.DLL, WindowsFormsIntegration.DLL, Presentation*.dll, some others)
Microsoft.VisualBasic.DLL
