I’m using Visual Studio 2010. I work with mostly windows services and web services. I use IIS6 w/web sites pointed at my project’s bin/debug build, Windows 7, C#…not sure what other info will be relevant…anyway..the problem is that in order to debug I have to copy over PDB files to the temp asp.net dirs
Every time I rebuild my project (which is huge), I have to drill down into the windows/ms.net/framework/v4/temp/root/[random] directory…wherein I must open up each of the 50-some randomly named directories in there that hold the built dll’s, and I must copy the PDB files from my project’s /bin/debug directory to each respective dll folder. Needless to say this is causing me to grow old faster than I should be.
If I don’t do this, then when I attach to remote process for debugging and set a breakpoint…I get a circle instead of a dot for a breakpoint and it says something about symbols not loaded.
My co-worker says this is a visual studio x64 bug but I think it’s a build configuration done wrong. Any ideas? Lemme know if you need more information, I’m not sure what’s wrong so I apologize if the explanation is a little wonky, thanks
Make sure you are not compiling the project in “Release Mode.
