How to step into p/Invoked c++ code

Question

I have a c# code which is calling another c# library which P/Invokes to a c++ library so it looks like following:

C# -> C#(P/Invoke) -> C++

I do have source code of both c# and c++ librarries. I am able to step into the c#(p/Invoke) code wince I am referring to the source code into my references.

However, c++ code is not easily compiled. I am referring to a DLL at this point. I want to be just able to step into the c++ code at run time so I can check for some internal logic.

Can resharper help me achieve this? Is there any way that I can do it in Visual studio?

If you have the PDB files (as pointed out in the comments above), and your C++ DLL is a debug version, you'll need to check the "Enable native code debugging" check box on the Debug tab of your C# project properties.

You may also need to go into VS2012 Tools->Options menu and update the Debugging->Symbols settings so that VS2012 can find the PDB files.
