Currently, you cannot use this technique with PE files that contain embedded native code (for example, PE files produced by Visual C++). There is a way to decompile using a keyboard shortcut. Have you ever found yourself debugging a .NET project or memory dump only to be confronted with a No Symbols Loaded page? Double-click the resource type you want to add or click. Has anyone been diagnosed with PTSD and been able to get a first class medical? Popular programs include Reflector, dotPeek, and JustDecompile. This is rather disappointing, but I am sure it will improve eventually. This could be a killer feature. Also, I had reasons to make the change; those reasons presumably havent gone away. This action creates a symbol file containing decompiled source which in turn permits you to step into 3 rd party code directly from your source code. This process exports source files to a Miscellaneous files folder for further analysis. Aaw. I myself care ZERO about your code because most codes are garbage, dont over-estimate it. To open the Modules window, select Debug > Windows > Modules. Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard Press a set of keys for the keyboard shortcut. After you have opend it, it will appear in the tree view. I do debug of 3rd-party code a lot, most of the time to find out what they are doing wrong or see how they work to fix our code. However, when its not intended to be shared that is different. Debugging without a symbol file would make it difficult to set breakpoints on a specific line of code or even step through code. Programmers tend to get wedded to the tools they are familiar with. If the file is managed, the tool runs successfully. I choose experience over features that I never use. After I click add and locate the plugin I get an error saying that it failed to to load the add-in. Replace poor or missing documentation by seeing how the code works in context. Is "I didn't think it was serious" usually a good defence against "duty to rescue"? Open the DLL file in your decompiler. Select Load Symbols to load the symbols manually.
