Setting up Symbol Server in Visual Studio involves a lot of clickety-clack:
- Go to Tools -> Options -> Debugger -> General.
- Uncheck “Enable Just My Code (Managed only)”.
- 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).
- Check “Enable source server support”.
- Uncheck “Require source files to exactly match the original version”
- Go to Tools -> Options -> Debugger -> Symbols.
- Select a folder for the local symbol/source cache.
- Add symbol servers under “Symbol file (.pdb) locations”.
Is there any way to automate this rigamarole with a simple REG file or somesuch?
