View source code from "Symbols Server" without debugging?

Question

I know that we can publish our source / symbols on a symbol server or use something like SymbolSource.org so that we can enter the code when we reference the DLL.

But I did not find a way to access the same code when we are not in a debugging session.

SymbolSource.org has a demo calculator application that looks like this:

var c = new SimpleCalculator(); Console.WriteLine(c.Add(1, 2)); 

When I debug, I can easily go into Add () and see the source code, but when I just look at the code, this is not the way to do it.

I assume that for some reason this is not possible b / c, it would be very helpful, and I don't see anyone talking about how this can be done.

Answer 1

One way to do this is with the JetBrain ReSharper . It allows you to ctrl + click go to sources provided by the symbol server, such as SymbolSource or the Microsoft Help source .
