Microsoft and Visual Studio have introduced a new debugging technology called 'SourceLink' that enables source code debugging of certain .NET assemblies from NuGet. This feature has been enabled to allow developers to step into the native Umbraco CMS source code.
Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General.
In the General window, uncheck Enable Just My Code
option and check Enable Source Link support
option.
Click OK to save the changes.
To read about SourceLink, you can take a look at the following websites:
Create a new .NET 5.0
Framework blank/empty website.
Install the latest Umbraco CMS 9.0+ Nuget Packages from Nuget.org
Create an IComposer or similar code in your new site/SLN that you want to F11/Step Into. Example Code Snippet to try with SourceLink
How far can you F11
, also known as Step Into
, and go down the rabbit hole of the Umbraco CMS source code?
Prompt will appear and the original source code file is fetched directly from GitHub.
