What are PDBs? Where must they be located for debugging to work?

Purpose:
  • Once again illustrates a deeper understanding of what is happening under the covers of the .Net framework.
  • Also would feature if a developer ever had to do remote debugging.

Potential Answer:
Program Database File. File that contains symbolic debugging information. Debugger will look for PDBs in path of exe, followed by symbols path specified in debug settings.
