Microsoft has opened the. NET Framework 4.5.1 Source code

The. NET Reference Source publishes a beta release that allows you to browse the source code for the. NET Framework 4.5.1 online, and you can debug the. NET Framework in Visual Studio 2013 by configuring. The project manager of the Framework team, Alok Shriram, wrote about the latest. NET Reference Source in the. NET Framework blog. Not only can it be used to browse the latest. NET code, and through the powerful Roslyn, improved the "Go to Defination" and "Finding Reference" online experience.

This is not the first time Microsoft has opened the source code for the. NET Framework. As early as 2007, they published the source code of. NET 3.5 for the first time and supported Visual Studio debugging. And for subsequent 4.0 and 4.5, also provide the corresponding source code package. But when the framework is upgraded, these old packages become worthless. Starting with 4.5.1, the. NET Framework team completely changed the process of symbolic indexing and publishing to synchronize with the build process so that when a new version is released, the corresponding PDB files are also updated from the reference source Web site. The current beta site is temporary and will replace the existing site. Subsequent Microsoft will also gradually add the assembly that has not yet published the source code. The new. NET Reference source license has returned to MS-RSL, which makes it easy for teams like mono to use them confidently. As Scott Hanselman said: "Microsoft may not be open source, but it is absolutely open source code."
