How to debug .NET binaries with Visual Studio without the sources

First, we should configure Visual Studio as per [Reference Source Setup].

Second, we should add the symbol servers specified by [Symbol Source], adding « http://localhost:33417/ » in the « other symbol servers with sources » place, as per [JetBrains DotPeek]

Third, we can download the (free) DotPeek decompiler, and try to generate PDB for our binaries (or dll/others).

Fourth, if we get an error such as « Binary was not built with debug information.« , we can disassemble and reassembling it with ildasm and ilasm, as per [Debug and Conquer].

Done 🙂
