How do I debug a common DLL project?

As the question title suggests, I have two solutions: one for an ASP.NET site and another for DLL projects.

When I debug the site, I want to stop at breakpoints in the DLLs.

How can I accomplish that without "stepping into" the code there from the *.pdb files?

Add the common dll's project to your site's solution, change the reference from a dll reference to a project reference and you can easily step into the common dll's code and breakpoints in both projects will be hit.

Alternatively you can keep the dll reference, and open the a code file that is compiled into dll in the project that uses it. You can then set a breakpoint in this code and step through it, but this way you lose a lot of the metadata which makes debugging harder.
