In this paper we present a source transformation-based framework to support model checking of source code written with languages belonging to Microsoft's .NET platform. The framework includes a set of source transformation rules to guide the transformation, tools to support assertion checking, as well as a tool for the automation of deadlock detection. The framework results in both executable and formally verifiable artifacts. We provide details of the tools in the framework, and evaluate the framework on a few small case studies
