I am looking for a way to debug compiled assemblies from Visual Studio.
Is it possible? Maybe using some kind of reflector add-in?
I am not looking for a way to decompile/recompile and then debug.

If you don’t have the PDB files for the assembly, try using .Net Reflector Pro, which was released a few days ago. It can decompile the code on-the-fly in Visual Studio and then step through it as if you were debugging your own source code (it does not require you to decompile and then recompile again). It is a paid for Visual Studio addin, but comes with a 14 day trial, after which it reverts back to the free version of Reflector.
