Debugging Framework Code in Visual Studio

Is this post (http://blogs.msdn.com/sburke/archive/2008/01/16/configuring-visual-studio-to-debug-net-framework-source-code.aspx) still the preferred method for debugging framework code from visual studio? Or has anything changed?

This is one way. The other way is using the upcoming .NET Reflector Pro that allows decompiling the framework and debugging through it. A free beta is available.

The first way has the advantage that you get the actual source code with comments. The second way has the advantage that you can debug framework code even if Microsoft does not provide the source for the part you are interested in.

As of Visual Studio 2008, the answers to your question are yes and no, respectively.
