must the PDB file be there to debug the class library? and how does it look for the right code? does it match on the signature of the method?
thanks all the responses on this by the way. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Woodring [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 April 2002 16:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] Possible bug in VS.NET The reason for the discrepancy between what the debugger shows you as being executed and what's actually being run is the fact that, although you're actually running the old code (for the reasons Alex described), the debug symbols file (PDB) that the debugger is using to debug the library doesn't include the source code for the library - just the path to the directory containing the source code for the library. So although the old binary (DLL) is being loaded and executed, the debugger just uses the outdated PDB file to locate the source code to display, which happens to not accurately reflect what was built into the binary being run. -Mike http://staff.develop.com/woodring http://www.develop.com/devresources ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard Bartfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 8:53 AM Subject: Re: [DOTNET] Possible bug in VS.NET > What you say is true, but what happens is that it looks > as though it is stepping through one piece of code, whilst > it is actually executing another. > > It's not even as if you're making a change to the code in the > middle of debugging.
