dotTrace 2023.3 Help

Configure Path to Source Files

You can specify the path to source files explicitly to be sure that dotTrace looks for the files in the right place. dotTrace can look for sources on local disks or network shares. So you specify a local path or UNC path.

To add a new folder substitution

  1. From the menu bar, choose View | Options. The Options dialog opens.

  2. Select the Folder substitutions node in the left pane.

  3. In the Folder substitutions pane, click Add to create a new substitution. The Edit Folder Substitution dialog opens.

  4. Enter a path to the source folder and a path to the target folder where source files are actually located. Click OK.

  5. New substitution appears in the table. Click OK to save changes.

    • Click Remove to remove the selected substitution from the list.

    • Click Move Up or Move Down to change the order of substitutions.

Deselect an item in the list of folder substitutions if you want to omit this substitution.

To specify the path to a source server

  1. From the menu bar, choose View | Options. The Options dialog opens.

    • Microsoft Reference Source Server
