    Hi, I install .Net 4 reference source code from Net_4.msi found here referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx and I see that all .cs and .pdb files have their contents repeated twice. Seems that this an error in RSCC.ZipHelper.exe, which duplicates file contents while extracting from zip archive. Or is it by design for some reason? Regards, Alexander

    Any word on the duplication of the source within the files? Thanks

    Agree with Lee: each file has code duplicated - looks like a bug in a tool that produced the distro (NET 4). Another question: can I build the source? I see no project files there...

    Agreed, but no one seems to be listening to the blog comments

    Is there some reason that enums and interface definitions are omitted from the reference source? (Things like ICollection, AttributeTargets, etc)

    .Net framework 4.0 file downloads as "netframework.aspx" and is corrupt... what gives?

  • Anonymous

    All the sources I try to download are downloaded as "netframework.aspx" files. I try to rename to .zip after I download and still no luck, all I see are two .zip folders inside called symols.zip and source.zip and a correupt readme with no extension so I have no idea what format that is in either. Cannot extract them or repair the archive. Fix the downloads please. ASAP

    I have downloaded the source code and tried to compile System.Web and it showed many errors, many missing classes, etc. Why do you call this one open source?
