Hi,
Could somebody please let me know if we there is any way to debug the
assemblies in GAC through the VSNET IDE?

TIA

Krishnan,

Assemblies in the GAC are like any other assemblies. You can debug
them, but only if they have debug symbols in them, and you have the code.
If you mean assemblies such as System, mscorlib and whatnot, then no, you
can't debug them. However, you can place your own assemblies in the GAC
with debug symbols, and debug them as you would normally.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for that. But, is it that I can only debug through the disassembly
here? Can't I debug through the code?
