Reg cleanup of pdb files during rebuild

[rohinichandrap]

Hi,
I have a problem with the pdf files in one of my workspaces I am
working with.This is during an upgrade from Visual studio 6.0 to Visual
Studio .Net 2003.

The workspace has two projects A,B.
Both the project's .exe,.map,.pdb files are placed in the same release
folder.
The project setting "Extensions to Delete on clean" under General
project settings has .pdb extension also.
The intermidiate directory and the output directory is the same release
folder in which all the exe,.map,pdb files are kept.

Due to this when I rebuild one of the projects say project A,it deletes
the both the .pdb's. During the cleanup not only pdb of A that is
currently built but also pdb of project B is deleted.

when the build is completed new pdb of project A is built but pdb of
project B remains zero because it is not built.

This is all due to both project's pdb files being placed in the same
release directory.

If I do not checkout the other project's pdb then obviously it does not
delete.

But when I do rebuild solution both the project's pdb's become zero
as cleanup is done during individual project's building.

One solution would be placing the pdb's in different folders but that
option is not that feasible
in my case.

Can this be solved by changing any project settings or in any other
way.

All went fine in VC++6.0.

I have built these two projects in VC++6.0 where I did not face this
problem.

I would be pleased if anyone can help me.Anyhelp is highly appreciated.

Thanks&Regards,
