Include pdb files into my nuget (nupkg) files

Question

I am using MSBuild to generate my nuget packages.

Is there any command I need to set, to allow it to include my .pdb files, for stepping into the source

Answer 1

The approach that worked for me was adding the PDB as content which had the benefit it will be copied alongside the DLL. (PackageCopyToOutput was required)

  
    netstandard2.0
    false
    true
    true
  

  
    
       true
    
  

EmbedAllSources - Will include source code in the PDB for easier debugging.

You may also want to consider setting "Optimize" to false for improving debugging experience in release configuration.
