Hello, Visual Studio 2008 uses its own solution file format, and different build systems like NAnt (and even some complex MSBuild cases) use their own. How do you keep them synchronized?

I have a project that referenced an external DLL without the PDB file (let's call it version 1). I created version 2 of the DLL with the PDB file. I was able to debug, etc. no problem.
