.NET Reflector Pro provides the latest version of .NET Reflector, plus a Visual Studio add-in containing the Pro features. .NET Reflector Pro integrates .NET Reflector into Visual Studio to allow you to seamlessly debug into third-party code and assemblies, even if you don't have the source code for them. For example, you may have a project that contains a third-party assembly, but you cannot step into it because you do not have the source code, symbols, or PDB file. After you have installed .NET Reflector Pro, you can use the Visual Studio add-in to select and decompile the assembly that you are interested in. You can then return to your source code in Visual Studio and treat the decompiled assembly much like your own code; you can step through the assemblies and use all the debugging techniques that you would use on your own code, including setting breakpoints.
.NET Reflector Pro is also available as part of Red Gate .NET Developer Bundle.
Updates in V7.0
Integrates with Windows Explorer and Visual Studio via Add-in
You can open Visual Studio, and use the .NET Reflector menu to select referenced assemblies you would like to debug into. These assemblies are then decompiled to C# or VB. You can then step into them whilst debugging, set breakpoints, see the values of variables and parameters, etc. In fact, the only debugger functionality that will not work is edit and continue. You can also decompile and explore source if you right-click on a project reference, and then click Decompile and Explore on the context menu.
