Exploring PDB Contents

ReSharper helps you explore assembly PDB contents by generating a readable XML file, which contains:

• source file names,
• mapping between IL offsets and source lines,
• names of local variables,
• entry point method if present,
• import scopes,
• a type of PDB file (Windows/Portable/Embedded),
• PDB signature,
• source server info: SourceLink/SrcSrv.

To study PDB contents associated with an assembly, right-click on it in the Assembly Explorer window and choose Show PDB content. ReSharper will generate an XML file and open it in the editor.
