ASP.NET common controls source code

Question

Is there a source code readily available for commonly used controls (say found in the toolbox) for ASP.NET 2.0?

The level of detail that I want its that I need to know the internal workings of the control.

Answer 1

Yes, Microsoft has actually released the Source code for the System.Web assembly, amongst others.

It is intended to make it possible to debug the built-in classes, so you as a developer have a better chance of understanding why a specific class behaves as it does. You can make Visual Studio download the source on-the-fly, when you try to step-in to a function with the debugger. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/10/03/releasing-the-source-code-for-the-net-framework-libraries.aspx

If you would like to read / browse the source code; you can also download it all using the NetMassDownloader project from CodePlex.
