Browsing the .NET Framework source code from Visual Studio

by

There is a very new feature in Visual Studio 2017 version 15.6

You can see decompiled source code without any plugin! Btw, Ref12 doesn’t work for VS2017.

Tools > Options , expand Text Editor > C# > Advanced, and enable “Enable navigation to decompiled sources (experimental)“.
