In order to use source stepp debugging :

And to use navigation to sources , in Resharper :

–I must have the PDB's.

But VS downloads every time a specific module.

I already downloaded the 50mb zip file from : http://referencesource.microsoft.com/

But it contains a project with no PDB.

Question

Is there a centralized place where I can download ALL pdb's for my visual studio ? ( so it wont need to download every time)

    Source stepping the framework source only ever works for a month or two after they release a new reference source version. Then a security update or maintenance release screws it up again. The current reference source version has been out of date for months right now. Don't bother. – Hans Passant Oct 27 '14 at 09:37
  • The constant re-downloading is a issue with resharper when you navigate to sources, it has nothing to do with .NET source stepping. – Scott Chamberlain Oct 27 '14 at 18:08
  • @ScottChamberlain if i clear cache/temporary it redownload , my question remains : how can I find the PDB file . ( although according to Hans , I should even try) – Royi Namir Oct 27 '14 at 18:35
  • @RoyiNamir ever since Microsoft updated the Refrence Source website to use the new web interface I don't think you can download the offline pdb files anymore. – Scott Chamberlain Oct 27 '14 at 18:41
  • @HansPassant Can you post this as an answer ?. I don't like to leave unchecked questions of mine. – Royi Namir Nov 02 '14 at 06:42
  • I only post happy answers, the kind SO users find helpful, nothing happy about this one. – Hans Passant Nov 02 '14 at 07:24

  • Use other disk drive than C. Sometimes privilege is need to put files in directory under C. If that happened, you will find you cache directory is always empty. – W.Perrin Jan 30 '19 at 12:23

For .Net Core, you can use dotnet-symbol.
