External Symbols

On this settings page, you can configure preferences for debugging external code.

Item	Description
Use sources from symbol files when available	Select this check box to use debug information (PDB files) to find appropriate source files and use them to display and navigate the code. If this check box is selected and the source files are available via the debug information, JetBrains Rider displays and navigates to the original source code. If this check box is cleared or if source files are not available, JetBrains Rider decompiles the code.
Allow downloading from remote locations	Select this check box to enable downloading sources from Symbol Server or other remote locations. If symbol files are available both locally and remotely, JetBrains Rider will display local symbol files. Your computer should be connected to the Internet for this option to work. If you use a proxy server, check if the corresponding option is configured correctly on the Environment \| Web Proxy Settings page of JetBrains Rider options.
Decompile methods	Select this check box to decompile method bodies to C# code. If this check box is not selected, a metadata view with method signatures will be shown.
Symbol servers	List of URLs or directory paths of the symbol servers or symbol locations.
