Here is a shiny new EAP build of Reflector 6.

New features in this release:
- Fixed support for having one version of visual studio without the other.
- Fixed an exception in the Analyzer view http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?t=9644
- Lots of improvements to UI and visual studio integration
- More reliable stepping through decompiled code

.NET Reflector 6 comes with a Visual Studio Addin that lets you use Visual Studio's step-through-debugging on assemblies that you don't have the source code for.

Have a look at my blog post: http://www.simple-talk.com/community/blogs/alex/archive/2009/09/22/74919.aspx for more details.

This is still a very early build. We don't guarantee that it'll work, and it might break your visual studio configuration or project configuration. Make sure you have backups (or source control) for any projects you use this on.

Installation instructions:
To install the visual studio addin simply:
- unzip everything somewhere and run reflector.
- The next time you open visual studio, the addin will be installed in the menu. You can configure the addin in reflector's Tools > Integration Options.

I'd really like to hear your feedback about the visual studio debugging feature. Please post any feedback or bugs in this forum.

    If the debugging doesn’t happen try these tips:

    The Just My Code option in Visual Studio, make sure it’s unticked
    Pdb files by the assemblies you’re decompiling will hide our ones
    Another symbol source you might have configured will hide our pdbs


    We’ll make messages to help with these in a future version.
