Is there a way to debug ASP.NET MVC code using a symbol server (instead of downloading the source and referencing that)?

Hi folks,

Is it possible to step through the official ASP.NET MVC 2 code via using the Symbol Server thingy in visual studio 2010?

I know I can download the full open source MVC code from codeplex, build it and then get my code to reference THAT codebase dll's...

But i'm wondering if this could be achieved by using the Symbol Server stuff instead?

If so, can someone go through some steps please, about how to achieve this?

+3  A: 

The symbols have recently been added to the Microsoft Public Symbol server.

hmm. that's the same answer as Raj, above. Still ... it's a blog from 2006 .. so i'm wondering if the steps are still the same, etc. for vs2010?

Given that the answer was accepted (and a comment added that it works for MVC 2) I would assume that it's an acceptable solution.
