Things should work just fine ...

So: (starting with some basic random questions):

1. Did you open Wireshark in VS via File ! Open ! Project Solution
      ...\wireshark-gtk2\wireshark.exe ??

2. If so: Can you "step in" (F11) to Wireshark and get a display
   of lots of "Loading symbols ..." in the bottom status VS bar
   before eventually getting a display of gtk/main.c source ??
