Hi,

I'm an experienced java vet learning C# + .NET. I'd like to know how I can configure my IDE(VS2008) / solution to step into another library's source code from my own project / solution.

For example: - I've created my VS solution "MyWidgetSolution" - I've added references to commons-logging-net / any open source c# library

While debugging my solution, how do I step into commons-logging-net?

In Eclipse + Java, it was as simple as: - Right click on project properties - Libraries tab - Right click on the .jar and attach source

Unfortunately right clicking on the .dll under "References" node doesn't give me the same options.

Thanks for the assist

A very similar question was asked yesterday. See this post for my answer.

Hi Richard,Thanks very much for the reply! When you say "make sure you have the PDB files where the referencing app is running" do you mean I have to copy the PDB files to my bin/debug directory of my solution?Also - won't a rebuild solution delete my pdb files? Unless I'm mistaken I'll always have to manually copyIs there something something ant / bat file esque to hook into the rebuild / clean solution command) to copy all the pdb's I want before each rebuild / clean?Thanks
