This is a walkthrough about using source server indexed PDBs using Visual Studio 2005 or 2008, as described in a MSDN Magazine article. The next post will talk about producing source server indexed PDB files.
Visual Studio 2008 can also be configured to use a Symbol Server that provides source server indexed PDBs for debugging through the .NET Framework source code. SourceServerSharp enables you to produce PDBs for your own assemblies with similar possibilities.
1) Install Subversion Command-line binaries and make sure svn.exe is in the path. This happens automatically when you use the installer.
2) Configure source server inside Visual Studio 2005 or 2008:
- Turn off ‘Enable Just My Code (Managed only)’
- Turn on ‘Enable source server support’

3) You are now set-up, but when you are debugging and step into code outside your solution that is source server indexed, or hit an exception in that code, the following dialog comes up:

To prevent this create a file called srcsrv.ini in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ containing:
[trusted commands] svn.exe export
