How to include source instead of a library in C# / Visual Studio?
c#, json, json.net, windows-phone-7
Solution
- Download the third party library you are dealing with
- Add this library's project into your solution
- In your project, remove the reference to the 3rd party library
- Add a project dependency into your project, make it depend on the 3rd party library project you have just added to your solution
- Compile and run, happy debugging
Problem
I come from a long Java background and very new to C#. I was trying to run one of the starter kit applications from Windows phone and I am getting this error. ``` A first chance exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.WindowsPhone.dll ``` I am finding it hard to debug this because I am directly referring to the dll file under References pointing to Newtonsoft.Json.WindowsPhone. In Java, I would have searched for the library and downloaded the source to step into the exact location during debugging. If that is possible, how would I do it in C# (as in how would i refer the library source for my project to pick up at run-time)? I am using the Visual studio 2010 Express Edition as the IDE.
