Summary

JFrog Artifactory has expanded its functionality for .NET developers by serving as a fully featured Symbol Server, enhancing the debugging process for NuGet packages. Symbol files, which are crucial for debugging, provide detailed information about the association between compiled and source code. With Artifactory, developers can store both NuGet and Symbol Packages, facilitating easier debugging through automatic indexing and retrieval of symbol files by tools like Visual Studio Debugger. The platform allows for comprehensive package management, enabling the setup of local, remote, and virtual NuGet Symbol Package repositories, as well as controlling access and ensuring version control. Artifactory's virtual repository functionality permits a streamlined configuration for managing Symbol Packages, supporting various operations such as upload, download, and proxying external symbol server registries, while also handling all associated metadata.
