Missing TabItemHelper.cs file referenced in Source Link – causes debugging issues
Describe the bug
On iNKORE.UI.WPF 1.28 and iNKORE.UI.WPF.Modern 0.10.0,
While debugging an application that uses the iNKORE.UI.WPF.Modern NuGet package, Visual Studio attempts to locate the source file:
E:\Yoojun Products\iNKORE.UI.WPF.Modern\source\Inkore.UI.WPF.Modern\Controls\Helpers\TabItemHelper.cs
The debugger uses Source Link and tries to access the file at:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iNKORE-NET/UI.WPF.Modern/0c069985a218b616994b5193516eae2c73fd896a /source/Inkore.UI.WPF.Modern/Controls/Helpers/TabItemHelper.cs
Commit: 0c069985a218b616994b5193516eae2c73fd896a
However, the request fails with a 404 error because the file does not exist in the repository or is not publicly accessible at that commit.
Impact: This results in:
- NullReferenceException stack traces pointing to source files that cannot be inspected
- Debugger failing to step into or decompile library code
- Degraded debugging experience for users relying on Source Link
Exception thrown at:
Thanks in advance.
Reproduction
- Create a new WPF application.
- Install the
iNKORE.UI.WPF.ModernNuGet package. - Add a
TabControlwith one or moreTabItemelements using the default iNKORE styles. - Run the application in Debug mode.
- When a
NullReferenceExceptionis thrown fromTabItemHelper.UpdateTabGeometry, open the Call Stack and attempt to navigate to the source file. - Visual Studio will attempt to fetch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iNKORE-NET/UI.WPF.Modern/0c069985a218b616994b5193516eae2c73fd896a/source/Inkore.UI.WPF.Modern/Controls/Helpers/TabItemHelper.cs
which results in a 404 error.
Expected Behavior: Visual Studio should locate and display the source file for better debugging support.
Actual Behavior: Debugger cannot locate the source file due to missing commit or missing file in public repo, causing Source Link failure.

It doesn't exist because somehow the casing of the path is changed. It should be:
source/iNKORE.UI.WPF.Modern/Controls/Helpers/TabItemHelper.cs
You should be able to view the file at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iNKORE-NET/UI.WPF.Modern/0c069985a218b616994b5193516eae2c73fd896a/source/iNKORE.UI.WPF.Modern/Controls/Helpers/TabItemHelper.cs
But somehow iNKORE became Inkore and git is not ignoring cases so 404 happened.
'Inkore' was the form that we used years ago before we changed everything to 'iNKORE', but I don't know who is ignoring the changes and still using the old crappy one.
I tried to re-clone the repository, but that didn't work.
