symbol server and VS.NET

WINDBG
1

Hi List,

i have heard some rumours, that the new Visual Studio.NET Debugger could
access symbols
through the symbol server (symsrv.dll) that comes with the current
release of the Debugging Tools.

Since, I could not find something about in the documentation, is this
possible ?

thanks in advance
michael

I just looked at the VS.nET docs and while it doesn’t clearly state that
it supprts it, part of the docs do contain a link to the symbol server
web page.

It seems that you would put the SRV* stuff right into the symbol
path for the project settings.

Check out the help page called “system symbols” or something like that
in the VS.NET page for what little help they give you about symbol
server.

Nathan,

it works as you suggested:

  • copy the symsrv.dll to the \system32 directory.
  • insert in “Configuration Properties\Debugger\Symbol Path” the command:
    srv*\<share> to an
    existing symbol store.

    thanks
    michael
