Why does .NET delete my pdb files when changing to release mode.

When I do a final build I typically build all projects in debug mode
first and then release mode and then copy all files to a builds
folder. However I've noticed that the .pdb files in the debug folder
aren't always there. After investigating I found out that when I
change from debug to release version, it deletes the .pdb files in the
debug folder. Why would it do this? What else is it doing to my files?

Thanks,
Darren.

Darren:

These are debugger files and by default, when you switch to Release mode,
Visual Studio will clean up debug-releated files. If you want them around,
there is a setting (can't recall of top of my head) that will generate them
for release builds as well.

I've got an ASP.NET website on my local box, set to compile to bin\Debug and bin\Release in debug and release modes. Both directories are populated with dlls, as the solution has been compiled in both modes. When I browse to the local website, it works, but which set of dlls is it using? What happens when I deploy to Test and there is only a \bin\ directory, no \Debug or \Release? I assume .NET has some path-searching rules that govern...

Hi, I am new to this newsgroup and need help in the following questions. 1. I am workin' on a GUI application. Does C# provides Layout Managers the way Java does to design GUI? I know that it can be done using the designer but I intentionally don't want to use that. The one reason is that you cannot change the code generated by the designer. The other could be that you have more free hand and control to design your GUI. 2....
