## About ##

The continuous build process I am using for the XAct Lib is publishing the compiled output to Nuget.org, while at the same time publishing the *.pdb files to `SymbolSource.org`

That means that once Visual Studio is configured as specified below, one can get a seamless debugging experience.

The configuration required is described [here](http://www.symbolsource.org/Public/Home/VisualStudio), but in essence is:

    In Visual Studio > Tools > Options > Debugging > General
      Enable Just MyCode (Managed only)=OFF
      Enable .NET Framework source stepping=OFF
      ENable source server support=ON
    In Visual Studio > Tools > Options > Debugging > Symbols
      add a new Symbol file (.pdb) location:
         http://srv.symbolsource.org/pdb/Public

Now F12 on a class that came from [[IT/#XActLib/]]

## Warning ##

When I did this, was unable to sign into a remote SQLServer instance!

#### Original Settings ####

Go to Tools -> Options -> Debugger -> General.

Uncheck “Enable Just My Code (Managed only)”.
  ORIG: Checked
Uncheck “Enable .NET Framework source stepping”. Yes, it is misleading, but if you don't, then Visual Studio will ignore your custom server order (see further on).
  ORIG:Checked  
  Specs: 
  
  
Check “Enable source server support”.
  ORIG: Unchecked
Uncheck “Require source files to exactly match the original version”
  ORIG: Checked
Go to Tools -> Options -> Debugger -> Symbols.
  
Select a folder for the local symbol/source cache.
  ORIG:N/A
Add symbol servers under “Symbol file (.pdb) locations”. 
Pay attention to the correct order, because some servers may contain symbols for the same binaries: 
with or without sources. We recommend the following setup:

http://referencesource.microsoft.com/symbols
(path from Visual Studio tab after you log in to this site)
  ie: http://srv.symbolsource.org/pdb/Public/skysigal/5d863d42-4c40-4abd-a415-bc3456c46a3f
(other symbol servers with sources)
http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
(other symbol servers without sources)
