.NET Reflector Pro EAP build 194

Here is another new EAP build of Reflector Pro.

New features in this release:
- Fixed visual studio 2008 support
- Fixed crash when a version of visual studio is installed, but has never been run

.NET Reflector Pro is 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/bl ... 74919.aspx for more details.

This is still an 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.

Download here:
http://downloads.red-gate.com/EAP/Refle ... Deploy.zip

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.

    Is the visual studio add-in compatible with Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2008 as well? Apologies if this question was answered elsewhere.

    Hi,
    I think the Express editions of Visual Studio don't support add-ins, which means that unfortunately it won't work. (I don't know Web Developer Express specifically though).

    If it does support add-ins, but the .NET Reflector add-in doesn't work, then let us know, and we'll fix it.

    Hi - thanks for the quick response. I believe Visual Web Developer Express does support add-ins (ReportViewer, for example. See:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsreportcontrols/thread/0cfa1983-7640-4b8a-a3b2-e2bc913046b7)

    .NET Reflector is a great tool, btw. I tried it against Visual Web Developer Express 2008. Turned off the "just my code" flag in debug options,
    but didn't get the reflector tool. Works GREAT in VS, though.
