It has long been said that having access to a framework's source code assists in debugging applications that use it. Though MFC developers have had this for a long time, only recently has Microsoft granted access to the .NET source code. Unfortunately, they limited the access to VS 2008 users and the files are downloaded on an as-needed basis during debugging.

With permission from Shawn Burke of Microsoft, Kerem Kusmezer and John Robbins built a tool that will bulk-load the .NET source code. The primary benefit of this is eliminating the unexpected pauses during debugging that currently occur. But it also has another interesting possibility.

Once the source code is downloaded using the .NET Mass Downloader, developers can configure VS 2005 to use the source code in very much the same fashion.

VS 2005中也可以查看.NET源码啦！

我们早就知道，访问应用所使用框架的源码有助于应用的调试。虽然MFC开发者们已经这样做很久了，但直到最近，微软才授权允许访问.NET源码。不幸的是，微软只允许VS 2008的用户进行访问，而且，源码文件只能在调试过程中必要的时候被下载。

在得到微软Shawn Burke的同意后，Kerem Kusmezer和John Robbins创建了一个工具，它将整体下载.NET源码。这一方式最大的好处就是消除了在调试进行的过程中因下载源码而导致意外暂停的问题，而且，它还有另外一个有趣的潜在价值。

一旦通过.NET Mass Downloader完成源码的下载，开发者们就可以通过配置VS 2005，以非常类似的方法在VS 2005中使用这些源码。
