Debugging with source

Mike Taullty has a post on debugging your app's and needing to see source using a combination of debugger and reflector. Although things do differ one approach is to use Rotor, it really does depend on what your doing as to see if Rotor would be a good choice as a it is a limited sub-set of the .NET Framework after all. Rotor will let you run your app's under it's CLR and you can append a debugger like sos to it (and you can read the source files directly).

You should take a look at Deblector:

It combines Reflector with the managed debugging API and lets you step through the IL and quickly switch between the IL debugger and the language views.

I'd love to see a tool like deblector get more polish and end up an add-in for VS2005, but that's just wishful thinking right now.

I agree on the Rotor stuff - I used to single step that source when it first came out but I've not revisited it lately (time mostly) but it's a really great learning tool when combined with Stutz's book.

Thanks for the deblector link - going off to look at it now.
