Reflector is good. But did you also try using the Microsoft Symbol server?

Unfortunately the .NET Framework is not Open-Source and you cannot browse the source code.

You can use Reflector to look into the Microsoft Assembly, but you won'ìt have direct access to the raw code.

In Visual Studio 2010, under Tools -> Options -> Debugging, if you enable "Enable .NET Framework Source Stepping" you will be able to do that.

VS will download symbols from the MS symbols server.
