stepping into framework code in C# Express 2008

[Andrus]

How to step or look into commented .NET framework source code ?

I havent found any way.

Using Visual C# 2008 Express Edition.

I'm confused as to what you want to do... comments simply don't
exist(*) outside of the original file, and the compiler wouldn't
assume they are code anyway, so no "step into" short of edit-and-
resume and uncommenting it.

The exception is the triple-slash xml comments, which are optionally
bundled into the documentation xml file; if this xml file is present
for a referenced assembly, you can see these comments in intellisense,
or the "show definition" view.

Can you clarify what you want to do / see?

I want this in C# express:

You'll be able to download the .NET Framework source libraries via a
standalone install (allowing you to use any text editor to browse it
locally). We will also provide integrated debugging support of it within VS
2008.
