The most straigh forward way I found using VisualStudio 2019 to debug an external library to which you are referencing in NuGet, is by taking the following steps:

3. Type the NuGet package name you want to debug in the search field & click 'OK'

4. From the Assembly Explorer, right-click on the assembly imported and select 'Generate Pdb'

6. Copy the .PDB file from the folder generated to your Debug folder and you can now set breakpoints on this assembly's library code
