.NET Framework Source Code to be Released!

By Wyatt Barnett | October 4, 2007 | ASP.NET

Scott Guthrie has made the very, very cool announcement that the bulk of the .NET framework source code will be released! If you have ever spent hours trying to decypher ASP.NET in reflector, or pulling your hair out trying to make custom controls play well, this should make you a very happy person.

I would recommend checking out Miguel de Icaza’s blog post on the subject. It is a very fair and even-handed analysis from the man at the center of the brewing controversy.

There’s sound theory in his article, it’s an interesting read.
