Source window closes after choosing "Open in .NET Reflector"

Hi,

I am experiencing some strange behavior when using the official beta of ReflectorPro. When I choose the "Open in .NET Reflector" command in Visual Studio 2008 the generated source code file is automatically closed after a few seconds and Reflector opens up. Is this expected?

I have prepared a video showing my experience: http://screencast.com/t/NDkwYTFkNG

    Yep, this is intended behaviour. We have piggybacked on Visual Studio's ability to produce metadata when you choose to "Go to definition" on an item in code.

    Unfortunately, we couldn't find a way to suppress the metadata view appearing briefly during this process, which causes the effect you see.

    Thanks for the report,

    Perhaps I was having wrong expectations then :wink:

    I was hoping that this command will load the reflected source code in Visual Studio without opening Reflector at all (only use its API to reflect the source). Could I request this as a new feature?

    What you ask for is a feature of reflector pro. If you decompile an assembly (using the "Choose assemblies to debug" dialog) F12 and right click>go to definition will have this behaviour.
