How to attach the source code of a dll when debugging in VSTS 2005

Hi:

How do attache the source code for DLLs in Project Reference in VSTS (visaul studio team system 2005) . i have just switched to VSTS recently. I need that to debug.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Do you mean how to download the source code from the code repository, or how to attach it while debugging? I'm confused of your question.

I think his question is this...

say you have a 3rd party DLL, and you are calling a function in that DLL. How do you debug the method call?

You need to have sources and debug version (with the .pdb file) of the dll. Then, if you try to step into a method defined in the dll, the debuger will ask you where source file of the method is located and you can browse to the sources.

continuing with this question further, should we add the reference of the dll in the application before running ?

Sometimes you also need to load the symbols for the DLL file.

After the debugger is started go to Debug > Windows > Modules

Then find the dll you need, right click and click 'load symbols' then just navigate to the .pdb file for that dll.
