There should be pdbs available as part of the SDK, for Visual Studio this
would be in X:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\SDK\v1.1\symbols.

You can also setup VS.NET to download pdbs from the symbol server.

Right click on the Solution, click Properties, go to Common Properties ->
Debug Symbol Files. Under "Search these paths" I have
"srv*d:\downloads\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols";
(without the quotes). The d drive will be my local symbol cache and updates
/ new symbol files are pulled from msdl.microsoft.com.

Unlike WinDBG, VS.NET doesn't give any feedback when pulling down pdbs over
the network. You'll experience a delay (feels like a hang) the first time
you launch an unmanaged debugging session with these settings, but you'll
see your local symbol cache fill up with directories.
