Why can't I see source in Microsoft's reference source?

I have a stack trace, and I would like to look at the source code in the methods.

at System.Web.HttpBufferlessInputStream.ValidateRequestEntityLength()
at System.Web.HttpBufferlessInputStream.EndRead(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
at System.Net.Http.StreamToStreamCopy.StartRead()

If I google ValidateRequestEntityLength, I get a nice result, source and all.

If I google StreamToStreamCopy, it apparently does not exist anywhere.

Why is this? Can I see the source of StreamToStreamCopy anywhere?

Very frustrating that referencesource.microsoft.com doesn't actually let you reference all of the source.

The entire source is not available on refrencesource.microsoft.com for all assembilies in the .NET framework. However some parts where re-created for .NET Core, you can to go to the github page for that class and find it there

.Net is now open source! What does this mean? The new stuff's source can actually be looked at. The old stuff? Not so much:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2014/11/12/net-core-is-open-source/

What's supported?:

This is a natural progression of our open source efforts, which already covers the managed compilers (C#, VB, and F#) as well as ASP.NET:

C# & Visual Basic (“Roslyn”)

Visual F# Tools

ASP.NET 5

Entity Framework

This takes it to the next level by extending it to the .NET runtime and the core framework.

.NET Core Framework
