Is there a debug version of the 1.1 framework available?
I'm getting a null reference exception in System.Data.dll that I'd like to
track down but can't step into the code.

It's throwing an exception while clearing the child relations of a data
table.

The short answer is no, there isn't.

I would recommended downloading Reflector and see what you can track down
that way (http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/). It will let you decompile
the System.Data assembly and using the callstack of your exception you
should be able to find the class and method in which your exception is
occurring. Then you'll be able to see the likely candidates for the object
that is null from the source generated by Reflector.

If that doesn't help, you could try posting the callstack to the ADO
newsgroup.

given that Reflector exists, as does the Rotor source, might I suggest that
Microsoft release a suitably licensed partial set of sources, un-optimized
DLLs, and PDBs for the BCL to aid in debugging?

Hi,

Can you share the exception details and the call stack at the time of exception?

Cheers!
Gaurav
