I am trying to enable visual studio to step through the .net framework source code when I am debugging.
I have tried with both Visual Web-Developer-Express-2010 and Visual-Studio-2011-Express-For-Web and I am getting the same problem with each.
When I get to the break point at the .net method I wish to step into I do right-click>step-into-specific>click-method-to-step-into. Then VS opens a new tab. saying it couldn't find or load the symbols. It gives a list of the assembly symbols it looked for. There is also a 'Load Symbols hyperlink which doesn't work. And another hyperlink that takes me to the debug settings dialog.
I have read tutorials on how to set it up and have believe I have the correct settings.
In the debugging general settings I have -
enable address-level debugging - checked
enable source server support - checked
enable .net framework source stepping - checked
enable just my code - not checked
In the debugging symbol settings I have -
symbol file (.pdb) locations - Microsoft Symbol Servers - checked
Caching Directory - C:\Users\MyAccount\AppData\Local\Temp\SymbolCache
Automatically load symbols for: all modules unless excluded - checked
Why is it not working? Thank you for your help.
edit: here is a screenshot of the error VS is giving me.
