Hi,

I have both reflector and Microsoft .net shared source installed.

How do I configure visual studio / reflector to use the shared source when avaliable, reflector generated source when not?

Thanks in advance. & kudos, reflector just keeps getting better and better.

Hey there, just to clarify do you mean the shared source language infrastructure from here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=4917 or the microsoft debugging symbols from here: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/ or something else entirely? I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by Microsoft .net shared source...?

Hi, I'm referring to the .Net framework shared source.

It's avaliable here: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx

While this isn't possible at the moment, we're looking into how we can let users configure the behaviour they want for future releases. Thanks for letting us know that this is something that you want.

Thanks, Nick. While you're at it, it would be great if you could disable optimization in the debug runtime environement to support stepping through the .net framework code to make local variables visible. See here for details:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sburke/archive/2008/01/29/how-to-disable-optimizations-when-debugging-reference-source.aspx

At a minimum, putting this in the documentation would help people address the issue without having to search high and low for what turns out to be a trivial solution.

There's also the idea of using an ini file to turn off optimisations - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9dd8z24x(v=vs.110).aspx I'll get a task added to the backlog for writing these ideas up.
