How can I find MvcSiteMapProvider.pdb version 2.0.0

Question

I have googled for getting MvcSiteMapProvider.pdb version 2.0.0 but I couldn't find it.

The lowest version that I could find is 2.3.1 in https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvcSiteMapProvider/2.3.1

Answer 1

The orignal announcement of the version 2.0.0 release shows that the project was being hosted on CodePlex at that time.

Lateron the project moved to Github, but it looks like not all versions were included.

Luckily the orignal CodePlex page contains a download archive link to a .zip file that includes these missing versions; also the 2.0.0 version, including the compiled .dll and .pdb files.

Steps

1. Unzip the mvcsitemap.zip file

2. Go to the releases folder.

3. The releaseList.json file in that releases folder contains the json below.

{
    "Id": "6",
    "Name": "MvcSiteMapProvider 2.0.0",
    "DevelopmentStatus": "Stable",
    "Description": "This is the first release for MvcSiteMapProvider version 2.0.\n\n* It is not backwards compatible with older MvcSiteMapProvider versions. *",
    "ReleasedDatge": "0001-01-01T00:00:00",
    "ModifiedDate": "2010-06-15T05:55:44.23-07:00",
    "Files": [
        {
            "Id": "fe1d566d-937c-4e4b-9aac-fba4c1c4869b",
            "FileName": "MvcSiteMapProvider 2.0.0.zip",
            "Url": "./6/fe1d566d-937c-4e4b-9aac-fba4c1c4869b",
            "Type": "Application",
            "UploadDate": "2010-06-15T05:55:43.027-07:00"
        },
        {
            "Id": "56c22bcd-36bc-4734-84d6-a63502bbb2a4",
            "FileName": "MvcSiteMapProvider 2.0.0 Sample Application.zip",
            "Url": "./6/56c22bcd-36bc-4734-84d6-a63502bbb2a4",
            "Type": "Example",
            "UploadDate": "2010-06-15T05:55:43.06-07:00"
        }
    ]
}

4. The json above shows you need to rename the file fe1d566d-937c-4e4b-9aac-fba4c1c4869b in the folder with name 6 to a .zip file, e.g. MvcSiteMapProvider 2.0.0.zip.

5. The unzipped MvcSiteMapProvider 2.0.0.zip file contains both the MvcSiteMapProvider.dll and its corresponding MvcSiteMapProvider.pdb files.

I could only find a Github link to this, which is https://github.com/maartenba/MvcSiteMapProvider. I do suggest reading the ReadME, which will tell you what to do to install MvcSiteMapProvider. If you don't want to go over the entire README, here's the link to all the packages: https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=MvcSiteMapProvider. Choose the one you need, follow the instructions and then you will be good to go.
