Step to build .Net 3.5 from Asp.Net 4 project

Question

Can I go into the .net 3.5 assembly referenced by Asp.Net 4?

We have a bunch of dlls that are used in our projects. These assemblies are for platform 3.5. I also have source code for assemblies. In projects 3.5 3.5, I could go into referenced assemblies, even if the project referenced only assemblies, if I set Solution-> Properties-> Debug Source Files -setting to the location of the assembly source code files. Now in Asp.Net 4 project this does not work. I cannot enter the reference code.

If I open the source file directly in Visual Studio (File-Open-> go to the source code) and put the breakpoint in the file that I know will be launched, it says: "... the breakpoint will not be deleted. Characters were loaded ... "by connecting to w3wp.exe and selecting" Managed (4.0) "for debugging. If I bind it to "Managed (2.0)", then the breakpoint will not hit either.

I ask for advice, Mathias

Answer 1

So, you have your compiled dlls within the 3.5 framework, and also you have the source code for them, right? Have you tried opening the solution that contains the project and binding it to w3wp.exe? Also make sure your dlls have been compiled with debugging information.

Another way is to use the .NET Reflector to enter the dll without source code.
