I've spent the better half of today trying to step into the System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer.ReadObject() method, as it appears to be ignoring EnumMemberAttribute decorations. No matter what I do VS 2012 will not step into any .NET Framework DLL. I followed the directions at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc667410.aspx

to no avail. Every post that I have found that involves attempting to do this on a Windows 8 machine, has ended in failure. All the posts in the Microsoft forums related to this, state the same thing:

As it stands, there is no possible way to debug .NET Framework code.
Details (expand)

Visual Studio/Team Foundation Server/.NET Framework Tooling Version

Visual Studio 2012

You can go ahead and close this out. We've reverted all of our machines back to Windows 7, where everything works fine. We've decided to skip Windows 8 and wait for the release of a desktop operating system.

I've been a little busy and haven't had the time to get back to this. However, I am also in the process of removing Windows 8 from all of my machines and going back to Windows 7, as Windows 8 is not worth the pain and does not work very well on domains at all. When I get a chance I'll give you the link to the project on CodePlex, which I haven't released as of yet.

I'll try to get something to you next week. I've never had any trouble reproducing this on any Windows 8 machine, as others are saying the exact same thing. It just doesn't work at all, so I'm not sure why you are saying that it is working for you.
