I have a website in vs2008. I cannot find my .pdb files anywhere after I build. My build configuration is set to debug. <compilation debug="true"> is in the web config. Where is my .pdb? There is nothing in my app_code or bin folder. How do I generate these files? ...
I want to set compilation debug="false" to get release mode dll's compiled on the fly from aspx files. However, I still want line numbers and such on errors as you find when you compile a DLL project with pdbonly set. If you're looking to do that, you can find a great answer on this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6285...
Hi folks, my friend has made a really helpful class library which I use all the time. I usually use Reflector to see what his code does. What I really wanted to do was to step through his code while I'm debugging. So he gave me his .pdb file. Foo.dll (release configuration, compile) Foo.pdb Now, I'm not sure how I can get it to aut...
I'm trying to use xperf to profile my DLL, but it refuses to use my DLL's PDB file. Running xperf on the .etl with -symbols, I get: DBGHELP: mydll- private symbols & lines C:\mydll\debugu\mydll.pdb - unmatched Which leads me to believe it thinks my PDB doesn't match the DLL the application is using. This is wrong; it does mat...
I've got a VB.net application. Currently the release version of the application is produced without a PDB file. This gives me error logs lacking useful details such as line numbers. I'm looking at including the PDB files with future builds but i'd like to know what the advantages and disadvantages of this are (performance wise, size wise...
I need something that can generate a PDB from a DLL file (C# .NET code), is there any free program to do that? ...
I'm trying to read a PDB file into a C# application. When I call loadDataFromPdb or loadAndValidateDataFromPdb with a file that I know exists, I get an HRESULT of 0x806D0005. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that means. I have the list of possible results [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2008hf0e(v=VS.80).aspx) but I'm af...
I'm experimenting with the AppDomain's 'AssemblyResolve' event by hidding the depedencies for an executable file in another folder. The assemblies seem to beloading and executing fine, however debugging seems to be crazy, sometimes it hits my break points, sometimes it doesnt , and sometimes it hits the same code twice(It seems absurd bu...
Hi Guys, I have a very simple application in VS.NET 2002 (C++) that calls a function from a DLL. The DLL is built with WINDDK and MSC_OPTIMIZATION is set to /Od /Oi When I try to step into the exported function from the DLL it fails. I then tried to load the symbols from the PDB file generated by WINDDK (XP Checked environment), but I ...

Hello, I need to filter details of specific Type(i.e Custom Type) . DIA2Dump blindly dump everything as type. I need to give it specific custom type as string and as result need all data members(i.e data section of that class).

Hello! I am right now reorganizing my project and what recently was a simple application now became a pair of C++ projects - static library and real application. I would like to share one precompiled header between two projects, but face some troubles with setting up the .pdb file paths. Assume my first project is called Library and b...
I would like to dump the fields and offsets of structures in the same way as windbg's dt command. Let's say for example I would like to dump the _PEB structure which is in the Microsoft Public symbols (since windbg's DT command works). From MSDN documentation I understood that the SymFromName function should be able to do this, below th...
I am struggling to get the ms-pdb Dia interface to return all the symbols matching a wildcard pattern ( i.e. nsRegularExpression in dia2.h - although documentation implies they are not true regular expressions ). However a call like: hr = diaGlobal->findChildren( SymTagUDT, OLESTR("MyNameSpace::*"), nsRegularExpression, &diaSymbols ); ...
Hello, I need to look up function argument names of public methods. Types are easily available from PDB symbols or DIA symbols. But Is there any way out by which we can trace and pull out function arguments names as well? I am concirned with native pdb symbols. Regards Usman ...
Hi In Visual Studio 2010, is it possible to change the naming of the .pdb file to include the full name of the executable, including it's extension, and that debugging will still work? For example, suppose I have an executable myprogram.exe, I want the pdb to be myprogram.exe.pdg rather than myprogram.pdb. Similarly I want mylibrary.dl...

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...

My .Net Application, A, has a reference to library B. Library B has a reference to Library C. When I rebuild A (in debug mode), its output directory contains me the B.DLL and B.PDB files, but only the C.DLL file. C.PDB is missing, or rather it is not being copied from its project's debug folder. In fact, looking at B's output directory,...
