Hi sir, any luck afterward? I get the exact same error message and did similar thing – Oak

No i couldn't make it working but I've found an alternative to visual studio debugger and forgot about debugging closes sourced library with VS.since then i am debugging with dnSpy an opensource .net debugger which support .net core as well.check this github.com/0xd4d/dnSpy – Palestine

I just get it to work yesterday. switch to 5.2.7 does the trick for me. for some reason, 5.2.4 just doesn't work – Oak

Answer 1

I can successfully debug asp.net MVC 5.2.7 source code.

1. Please download MVC 5.2.7 package here: https://dotnet.myget.org/feed/aspnetwebstack-dev/package/nuget/Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc

2. Download the corresponding source code here (remember to switch to the correct branch): https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetWebStack

3. Set up your symbol server according to symbol server

4. During debugging, make sure the dll is loaded.
