I'm working on a project and trying to fix a bug found in the system. The code that I have access to doesn't build (it's a huge project with a lot of dll files, some of which are missing on my workspace). I have access to the part of the code I'm trying to debug, but can't build it. So I started the compiled .exe
file and attached to it in VS. When I set a breakpoint in the code, it's disabled and says No symbols have been loaded for this document.
So my question is, what additional info/files is the debugger looking for? I'm assuming it's looking for the pdb
file for that specific assembly, which doesn't exist on my machine.
When I try to attach to the exe file, I get this warning:
Your assumption is correct.
