Hi all,

Does source code of base classes of .NET is available for developers?
Borland always has published a main part source code of the VCL (Delphi).
Does Microsoft too?

Regards,
Marcin Lis

P.S.
There is no better help then source code of libraries ;)

No, but if you need to look at how a method works, you can always
disassemble a part of a class by using ILDASM or better, Anakrino or
Lutz Roeder's Reflector (both can decompile to VB or C#)
 
ROTOR - or the shared source CLI is a very good course.

It doesn't have the entire library and the JIT and GC are not the production versions but its got most of the things you might be interetsed in.

Ahem, I forgot to mention ROTOR and MONO but David and Richard corrected
this mistake. This is not exactly the source code of what you're using
under Windows but this is a good start if you want to understand how
things work. I think that O'Reilly has a book about the CLI.

the MONO has the complete source code. Is for linux, but you can download
the source and look in your windows OS

Mono isn't just for Linux:
