PDB files with .EXE or .DLL extension

Question

I have a .net 4.0 web project which is running in debug mode. This was running perfectly until recently. Now it errors saying it can't fine various PDB files. The PDB files it is looking for is are all present. However looking at the trace .NET is trying to find them with either a .pdb.exe or .pdb.dll extension. Why is it looking for the extra part of the extension rather than just .pdb?

Answer 1

No application, web or otherwise will ver complain about finding PDB files.

I suspect you accidentally changed your assembly names instead of the debug output filename.
