Source code?

[Karl]

Does MS publish the source code for the standard ASP.NET Webcontrols? If
so, where do I find it?

If not, are there any opensource Webcontrols such as editboxes,
pagecontrols, tabs or similar. I looked on Sourceforge and couldn't find
any.

Hi Karl,

The built-in ASP.NET controls aren't released with source code, but
Microsoft has released the source for some of the IE controls:

No, but using Reflector[1] it's as if they did.

You can learn a lot from the mono implementation.
It's an open source framework that simulates the dotnet
framework for use on Linux (a Novell-supported initiative).
