Well, as a workaround I seemed to be able to get it working doing these steps:
- Replacing the .dll and .xml files in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE with those from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\Debugger\BCL
- in VS 2008 under Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Symbols -> untick the option to only search places when loading symbols manually
That way, I was able to debug through the assemblies, except for the mscorlib. But those assemblies from \BCL are significantly larger, so I'm afraid to deliver debug-assemblies; I will revert for now, but I hope this information is helpful for you. / comments

It worked, I was able to look through the disassembled code perfectly fine within VS2008, but I wasn't able to debug with it, though, because Reflector did not offer me to switch assemblies (they were not placed in the regenerated assemblies folder either, so no manual switching). I tried to create a new project, cleared all refereneced assemblies and replaced them with those working for disassembling. The project built successfully, but Reflector again didn't offer me to switch them.
On a side node: disassembling those assemblies took significantly longer (about 3 to 5 times longer) than disassembling the default assemblies. / comments

Great, that did the trick (damn you, you single old reference in one of the ~50 projects *shake fist*).
Sadly, I now am running into a different problem. After choosing the assemblies I tell .NET Reflector to do the reference switch. I hit F5 to start debuggin and VS2008 recompiles the solution, but every project fails to compile, stating
"The predefined type "System.Object" is not defined or imported." (exact wording may be wrong, I am using a german version of VS).
Also, no matter which assembly in the references I click on and choose "display in object browser" and then "Go To Decompiled Definition", I do only see empty methods / properties and their Attributes.
This also happens when I create a new solution with only one .NET CF project.
I hope you can also help me on this one. / comments

Thanks for the quick reply!
Should you need any further information please just leave a post in this thread (I enabled notifications, they are sent to my work e-mail address). I would gladly help you if it helps solving the issue more quickly, because I just lost 2 days not understanding .NET CF behavior. Had I been able to use Reflector, that problem would have probably been solved in 2 hours. So as soon as Reflector Pro will start working in my solution, I am going to buy it.
How often do you usually release a new version / how often should I take a look at the download section and see if it works for me? / comments

VS2008 Chosing Assemblies failed
Hi,
I am trying to use the .NET Reflector Pro Trial within our current project to see if we can put it to use. The solution consist of a number of projects targetting .NET CF 2.0 and .NET CF 3.5 as...
