Visual Studio Source Lookup
I was told that 2005 wouldn't work well. I now have 2010 and the look up is not ready for a mainstream audience. It rarely works. Has anyone had any luck with this?
Can you be more specific on the issues you run into?
Source Code Lookup in Visual Studio ONLY WORKS for methods where you actually have the Source Code. It doesnt work for 3rd party or system classes as you do not have the source code for it. If you want to lookup soruce code that you do not have on your local machine you can look into our integration with .NET Reflector. Its a tool that does a pretty good job in de-compiling code and works well for system libraries from Microsoft or other 3rd party vendors
In case you do have problems with source lookup on code that you have in your Visual Studio Solution please let us know

Check the following:
- Un Block all the files if you downloaded the zip from the website after you put them in the Addins folder.
- use "Run As Administrator" option when opening VS 2010 by right clicking on VS 2010 in Start menu
- Check "Connect CodeLink to dynaTrace" checkbox under Tools --> dynaTrace Configuration
- Make sure the solution has been compiled, otherwise it seems to just open the class and doesn't navigate to the method.
It is quirky, but it works for VS 2008 and VS 2010 for me. I have to sometimes try using Open in IDE a few times for it to work.
