Software And Architecture

I ran into a situation today wherein I was required to debug the Google Authentication middleware built on top of OWIN. I already had the code checked out from Katana project in CodePlex. However, when I tried to use, it was the latest bits [dev channel]. My app was using the version 2.1 and the dev version was in 3.0. Tired of searching the tag for the version 2.1, I came to know that the symbols for the various open source projects are made available from SymbolSource.org Given this piece of information, I read the steps on how to configure the symbol server in Visual studio and then upon successful source registration, I was able to step through the middlewares and do the debugging stuff. Things that I did were, Grab the public [authentication less uri access] from Symbol Source [ http://srv.symbolsource.org/pdb/Public] Go to Tools -> Options -> Debugger -> General. Uncheck “Enable Just My Code (Managed only)”. Uncheck “Enable .NET Framework source stepping”.
