Debug source code for mscorlib.dll 2.0.50727.4952

Question

Hi,

I am trying to debug into mscorlib.dll but the mscorlib.pdb can't be found in http://referencesource.microsoft.com/symbols

it is found in http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols but that does not have source code info.

Im running windows7, my mscorlib.dll is version 2.0.50727.4952 under:
C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_32\mscorlib\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089

I downloaded all the symbols and source from: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx (Dotnetfx_Win7_3.5.1) but it is not there either...

Is it possible it is a new version and microsoft "forgot" to upload the correct pdb?

P.S

Just some more info, when I try to download from http://referencesource.microsoft.com/symbols it creates this directory:
mscorlib.pdb\1A288C5B0DE64342BF9D0258A43A1B631 WITH mscorlib.pdb file in it but it is 763kb only.

The Dotnetfx_Win7_3.5.1 source and symbols I downloaded from http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx has this dirs:
\mscorlib.pdb\2F796F43324F4CC0B119C5190448F7671
\mscorlib.pdb\62E4F7104F1F4A5E834A61BE6C0F277A1
\mscorlib.pdb\F85F3DD0C7024D528B4C37F1ACF2123D1

So clearly there is no match... where can I get the symbols and source for 1A288C5B0DE64342BF9D0258A43A1B631  ??

Answer 1

You're not alone.....I have exactly the same problem!

Win7 x64 - .NET 2.0.50727.4952

mscorlib.pdb file is 763kb only?????  Clearly there is no source code in that .pdb.

When I try to step into the .NET source, I get this error message: 

"Stepping over method without symbols"

I'm also having the same problem as SeanC & Dave Black, though running on Win7 x32. Having also downloaded symbols for .NET_3.5_sp1_redist, it adds 3 more files with symbols for mscorlib.pdb, but still none that match those needed for 2.0.50727.4959.

(And unchecking "Require source files to exactly match the original version" does not help.)

Does anyone know where to get a version of mscorlib.pdb with sysmbols for mscorlib.dll 2.0.50727.4952?
