Re: View Contents of PDB file




Hmm... it seems that if the PDB file is present, reflector will use the
embedded information to more accurately render the source code of the
assembly, including actual variable names. Now, the source looks closer to
how I remember it before the code was lost.


Thanks,

Greetings,

Does PDB files (.NET Framework 1.1) contain embedded source code or
variable names and such? I need to reconstruct an assembly for which we
no longer have the source code for. We only have our businesslogic and
core assemblies and their pdb files and rewriting based on reflector is
tough. Is there a PDB browser kind of utility?


Thanks,
Shawn
