Does Visual Studio have debug symbols available?


I'd like to track down a possible bug in Visual Studio, but that's awfully hard without the debug symbols for Visual Studio itself. Does Microsoft make these available?


Solution

  • An up-to-date Visual Studio should already have the option to load symbols from Microsoft (Check: Tools->Options->Debug->Symbols). When it comes to debugging Visual Studio itself, have a look at this blog post.
