The System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore namespace provides classes that allow you to read and write debug symbol information, such as source line to Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) maps. Compilers targeting the.NET Framework can store the debug symbol information into programmer's database (PDB) files. Debuggers and code profiler tools can read the debug symbol information at run time.

The System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolToken structure is an object representation of a token that represents symbolic information. |
| SymDocumentType |
Holds the public GUIDs for document types to be used with the symbol store. |
| SymLanguageType |
Holds the public GUIDs for language types to be used with the symbol store. |
| SymLanguageVendor |
Holds the public GUIDs for language vendors to be used with the symbol store. |
