If you are using the full version of Visual Studio 2008 (not Express), you can peek at the .Net Framework source code by following the steps outlined here: http://blogs.msdn.com/sburke/archive/2008/01/16/configuring-visual-studio-to-debug-net-framework-source-code.aspx

Since you're using Express, you'll probably need to rely on methods outside of Visual Studio (i.e. there's no way that I'm aware of to "step into" Framework code from there).

If you just want to see what's happening under the hood, you could use ildasm to disassemble your program (after compilation) and see what's happening. The steps for that are included here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ceats605%28VS.80%29.aspx
