Stepping into IL while debugging
This post came across the ADVANCED-DOTNET list several months ago and I had to post it. Many of us want to be able to step into the IL as we are debugging, but we can't. This suggestion was provided as a work around by Craig Andera and seconded by Mike Woodring. It's a great way to view the IL as your debugging; lets hope MS will make this easier in the 2nd drop of .NET. You can find the post in the archives here.
(1) decompile your assembly using ildasm to get an IL source file that includes the original high level language in interspersed comments.
(2) recompile the IL into an assembly using ilasm.exe
(3) debug the assembly; now able to see source+IL+asm
