Debugging .NET Framework Source Code

I'm currently debugging some issues with an application written against the .NET Framework version 3.0 and today I found an interesting blog post by Shawn Burke where he describes how to configure Visual Studio 2008 to allow the debugger to step into the source for the .NET Framework itself!!!

Debugging Microsoft .NET 2.0 Applications

If, like me, you find yourself debugging some fairly advanced issues on the .NET platform you might also consider reading Debugging Microsoft .NET 2.0 Applications by John Robbins. Given that the .NET Framework's 3.0 and 3.5 are merely extensions of the .NET Framework 2.0, the CLR remains at version 2.0 even in these newer frameworks, the book is still very applicable.
