Hi Alan,

The pdb file is created when you compile your assembly with debugging
information. It will be created in your bin directory alongside your
dll or exe and is needed to debug assemblies at the source code level.
Our Decompiler.NET product will read these symbol files if present in
order to retain your local variable names in the decompiled code.
Local variable names are not present in the assembly file itself, so
Decompiler.NET generates local variable names based on their type if
the symbol file is not available with the assembly.

The Decompiler.NET product is not free but the evaluation version can
be downloaded for free in order for you to evaluate the product's
capabilities.

The product is priced very low considering that it produces higher
level and more accurate code than the competitors, we provide better
support with free updates, and the product includes full obfuscation
capabilities.

Please make sure that you check often for updated versions of the
product since they are posted often to the web site.

The eval version should still produce code that compiles 100% since it
generates stubs for methods that are being disabled and returns value
values and out parameter values.

If you have an example of output that does not compile, please send it
to me at support@junglecreatures.com and I'll address the issue
immediately.

I look forward to your experience evaluating the product.

Jonathan
