The new .NET Reflector Pro is an add-in to Visual Studio that lets you debug third-party code and assemblies. It decompiles the assembly to either C# or VB code, and lets you step through it in Visual Studio 2008, just as you would do with your own code. This is all controlled from a Visual Studio add-in, so you don't need to leave your coding environment.

• Full support for .NET 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0

• Decompile an entire assembly to either C# or VB to view and debug in Visual Studio          

• Step-through debugging of any assembly in Visual Studio (as long as it's not obfuscated):
  • Step into and set breakpoints anywhere in any assembly
  • Watch variables in the decompiled code
  • Use Visual Studio's advanced debugging features in decompiled code: Set Next Statement, modify variable values, and dynamic expression evaluation in the immediate window
