Well because they are loaded into your process space .. they will make
your app 2-3+ times more heavy for memory usage. They also serve
little purpose in a production application (the one benefit is giving
you line numbers in your exceptions). I do not need line numbers in my
exceptions as I take a minidump. I then use my pdb files which are not
distributed to look at the minidump file when it is sent back. This
allows me to see much more that just a line number, I can see
arguments being passed on the stack, what other threads were doing,
and other normal debugger type things.
If you happen to be in the Carolinas I will be in SC on Thursday
talking about this in much greater depth.
Cheers,
Greg

Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] line numbers missing in exception
The PDB files not being distributed to the client machine. The PDB
files include the mapping information for the line numbers. You
generally do not want to include these files as well.
