Is this thing messing with my symbol server settings?

I see that my old symbol server settings are replaced by .net reflector ones for good.
I'd still like to use MS symbols when applicable as they provide comments as well.

    It adds the reflector symbol locations at a higher precedence than any existing symbol servers, however it shoudn't ever remove your existing symbols. That should mean that you just have to not decompile an assembly, and you'll get the symbols you already have for it.

    Let me know if that isn't working as expected.

    Hi Alex,

    Perhps you should add symbols at lower precedence. If you think about it it makes more sense because having original symbols is still better than decompiled ones.
    About deleting existing settings: I'll pay more attention from now on. I think I had it set for MS symbols before but I am not sure.

    I disagree.

    A lot of the time, your existing pdb doesn't come with source files, and will confuse users who think Reflector Pro isn't working.

    To avoid reflector overriding your exsiting pdb files, just don't check the box when you are chosing assemblies to debug.
